  • Detailing 101

    Hi, my name is Desi and currently own a 1992 Acura Legend. Is in mint condition when I purchased the car 18 months ago at a used car dealership. I have a paint oxidation problem. the color of my car is metallic black finish. How can detailing help to cover the oxidized part of the car. Its oxidized on the roof top, a little corner of my hood, and a little corner to the end of the trunk.

    First things first, swing past the thread called ClearCoat Failure Photo Archive in the Hot Topics Forum, and see if it resembles any of those.

    Then we can try and help you from there.

      Like Matt said, first look here,

      The Clearcoat Failure Archive

      Your post, your question comes up so often that we created a thread with multiple pictures of clearcoat failure so that you can look to see if the pictures in the thread look like what you're seeing on your car.

      If it's a clearcoated car than what you're seeing is likely clear coat failure and there's nothing you can pour out of a bottle or scoop out of can and fix the problem.

      The only honest repair is to repaint the car or at least the affected areas.

      Let us know either way...
