oxidise corvette

[Cosmin]

i am a beginner with rotary , but i finish my first car , an suv pretty good in paint correction (see my pic albums). i remove bad scratches , dog scratches , 2000grit sand, swirl marks without damage the paint in anyway. i do not have a gauge for paint. but i do have 105 , 83 , 80 and all 3 foam pads in different quantity. the car: an old 86 corvette , black full of swirlmarks and oxidation all over. but.. on roof by the trim i can see the clear coat start unpeal , i was wonder if i should give it a try ? or not , at leas a test spot with finish pad and 80? the car has potetntial before /after if i do it right, would be a good project for website pictures and feedback. the owner agree to go and practice on it he try different types of restoration(wax i guess) and faild, the car is bad oxidise, i may shoot some pic to give u an ideea. the car was a race car before and i suspect that was buff and i am afraid the clear coat is to thin.. and don`t want to mess it up in case it fail after few mo since i finish it .....
i am looking for an opinion , i should do it or just let it go...also i don`t charge the guy all he has to buy is clay bar, wax and seal and maybe blue tape, everything is left over is mine.

Re: oxidise corvette

You can see the clear coat is starting to peel? without a picture it is hard to say for sure but I imagine the car is going to need to be repainted. What kind of equipment is at your disposal? Random Orbital Buffer, High Speed Buffer? Products?

have g110 and makita , products 105/swirlx/83/80/205
but the car was a previous race car and i assume was buff before, the clear is pealing on roof at the edge with trim, NOPE i will not do this car , i give up already , better stay away of trouble than run into.
an 83 with g110 will be a good tickle . the car is trash, has potential for a good project , i may think about after i get a paint gauge.

Re: oxidise corvette

Try the G110 with 105.
I did on an '89 Corvette, and it worked great!!
Except it did gum up, and was hard to wipe off.
So if you do work on it, about a 10in. by 10in area and about 3 passes, then reapply product and wipe off.
