  • Whats the best product to remove light oxidation?

    tomorrow I am going to be doing a full detail on my neighbors 1994 Camaro. It has only 20,000 miles and I was able to get a look at it today. The color of the car is teal and the car itself just sits there and collects dust. It also has a little bit of a dull look to it and looks slightly oxidized. It has a clearcoat too.

    I was thinking about washing, claying, AIO, and then NXT 2.0. Not sure what AIO to use though. I have M06, ColorX, M20, and Cleaner Wax. But I also have SwirlX and Ultimate Compound.

    Should I just do some test spots and go from threre or is there more to it?

    Probably going to need at least a little bit of a bite from the ColorX, if not something stonger.

      Might be faster to use UC first then go straight to NXT

      Do a test spot with both approaches see which one works best...

        Sorry for the late reply, I had to take care of something.

        I was thinking of either trying M06 or ColorX first and then if that dosent work then I would use UC then go over the car with SwirlX. I thought ColorX would be the best after seeing your Ford Bronco makeover but then I realized that was SS paint.

        I was also thinking I could get away with SwirlX but I dont think that geared toward light oxidation is it?

        hopefully the clear is soft enough for either M06 or ColorX

        thanks for your help Mike

            I am picking up the car at 3 pm tomorrow and keeping it until Saturday morning. Tomorrow i will do the exterior which will probably take until 10 or 11pm and then Saturday morning I will get up around 4 or 5 am and have the interior to do which I will finish at 8 am probably.

            If you havent noticed, I like to plan things out.

            I will definitly take a lot of pictures and post the end result

                    one is a:

                    Fix
                    Or
                    Repair
                    Daily

                    the other is a:
                    Cheap
                    Heap
                    Every
                    Valve
                    Rattles
                    On
                    Lift
                    Every
                    TIme

                    So really no difference!

                      Maybe this will help... I combined them and flipped them different ways...

                          UPDATE:

                          I just finished the Camaro and It is looking better than brand new, I was able to get before and after pictures but the befores are not as good as I hoped them to be. I will start a thread tomorrow after i get more after pictures in the sun and return the car to the owner.

                          Plus I have to pick throught 150 photos to see which tell the best story

                          Look for another thread tomorrow afternoon.
