    My paint is starting to oxidize and I was wondering what the best product is to use to remove this. The paint is about 6 years old and has no clear coat.

    Klasse AIO is good for oxidation. I don`t know how it would work on a single stage paint job though :nixweiss

    A buff paint cleaner such as Gliptone`s Pro-Buff. An equivalent could be found in Mother`s CG Paint cleaner, which is the first step product of their three step California Gold Pure Carnauba Wax system.



    You should make a regimen of cleaning your paint ONCE a year, then using a polish for prepping the paint, and then just add wax for the remainder of the year. Piling on wax or not caring for your paint for prolonged periods (years) will promote oxidation.



    Good luck.

    Use a medium cut clay bar and a good polish . . . depending on the severity, this combination will remove oxidation with ease. Good luck

    ~One manâ€â„¢s opinion / observations~



    As suggested clay would be a good first step. Klasse All-In-One is a chemical (solvent) type cleaner that will also provide an acrylic resin protection.



    Dependant upon how badly the paint has oxidized you may need to abrade the surface with a polish. Iz einzett Mettalic or Paint Polish are suitable polishes for the removal of oxidation



    ~Hope this helps~
