What product do you guys recommend? Both my brothers accord, and his wifes rodeo are heavy oxidized and I need something to bring back that gloss shine. There doesn't seem to be any signes of clearcoat failier or anything they just wern't taken care of. I have Meg's DC#1, but I have never tried on heavy oxidation. I've heard Meg's colorX is a good product for oxidation, but I wanted to know what you guys might recommend. The Search of the forums didn't come back with anything I was looking for.
 
Can you tell us the color of the cars, years and are you doing this by hand?

This will help greatly in making a suggestion

That 's cool but are these cars really single stage? I think that they are CC....get some polsih and rub an area if the color comes off then they are SS if not they are CC.


I would wash the car and then clay to start. Then a cutting pad with PB SSR 2.5 or something along those lines...you may need to really work the top end of the cars allot to get the crud off....then polish with a polishing pad and by hand use a sealant or paste wax...I do both in my case but that's a personal perference
 
I'm a big fan of Farecla G6 with a cut pad you are comfortable with. I usually use wool for oxidization. 4-10 hours should bring a nice shine. Chase it with a soft polish to get rid of any streakiness.
 
I would imagine they are CC, they are not that old. They just wern't taken care of. Never washed with the exception of every blue moon.
 
Lone , you might be able to get by with just a polish . Its hard for us to tell without pics how heavy the oxidation really is . Before going with a compound like SSR2.5 try a polish like Pb's PWC or AIO .

I've brought back some chalky whites with my PC and some PWC on a polishing pad. And like it was said earlier you'll def. want to clay the car for sure..
 
Well they don' look like they were painted with oxidation, but they have no shine to them. I didn't want to try a polish and end up wasting my time with out posting a thread to see what you guys thought.

You can always try and do a inconspicuos (sp) spot to test first .

The thing with a polish is you let the chemicals do the work with minimal rubbing where as compounds work when rubbed. So for me yes a polish is less effort.
