i've dealt w/ tons of swirls but all the cars i've polished have been in relatively good paint condition. my grandparents car however is severely oxidized. never seen a coat of wax in it's life. so what products deal w/ oxidation?? i could go abrasive (DACP, 1z UP, PP) or could go chemical (AIO). which is better suited. is oxidation a layer that has to be abrasively removed or does it just need to be cleaned. any tips would help. thanks, Joel
 
I would go with AIO or meguiars MPPC. I prefer the chemical removal when dealing with oxidation.



UPC also works great on oxidation, as does PB SSR2.
 
hey joel, if the oxidation is severe you may need to use a wool pad with the ultra polish. first you could try UP with the yellow cutting pad though. if that doesn't do it, remember i've got the stronger stuff from 1z that's only available to detailers and in europe now. i know it will work.
 
Severe oxidation is actually quite fun to deal with. Maximum results with minimum time. AIO with MF is the way to be--go AJ, it's ya birthday...
 
You could do it either way I think. AIO might be too mild without a PC and a cutting pad (which is what Jngr used) if the oxidation is deeper, requiring more paint removal. Traditionally you'd use a moderate strength polish (depending on how bad it is) to deal with oxidation since you just abrade away the dead paint.



I still have to look into this matter, but I am not sure about "chemically" removing oxidation with stuff like AIO. I just don't understand how it works. :nixweiss

neither do i
 
I did a side by side comparison yesterday on a red 91 Toy pickup. This surface was shot, you know, that typical neglected Toyota red. I first tried ColorX. Lots of transfer to the MF towel, left a beautiful shine.....Then tried AIO, same results. No pics of this demo, nor the 00 Expedition i did...Maybe I will go back tday for pics ???
