Correct process for very oxidized finishes?

[Reflctn Perfctn]

I am detailing a 1990 BLACK mustang and the finish is VERY oxidized! I am using PwC by hand with a terry applicator and so far 3 pads are blacker then the paint! So I am wondering what steps you pros use for very bad oxidized vehicles!

You are going to more than likely need a fairly aggressive polish or compound and a rotary. To do a seriously oxidized paint job without one will literally take you forever without getting the best results. Tape off all the trim etc.. before you start too so you don't spread the paint laden compound into the trim and stain it. Good luck.
