I have a 1990 Mustang Gt. The car has Brand new Paint on the whole driver side due to an Accident 2 years ago and looks great. I also had a Saleen Spoiler, Cobra Rear Bumper, and New Front Bumper installed and painted.

The passenger side is in great shape, but there are areas of "Pink" and oxidation that is noticable under halogen lights, Camera Flash, and Somewhat direct sunlight. Heres a few pics showing what i mean, Notice the Passenger side door:













As you can see, the passenger side door seems to be Stock Factory 1990 Ford paint, which seems to be quite oxidized and faded with the "pink" look. This drives me crazy and i would like to find out what products/methods i can use to somewhat restore the color, shine, and depth of the paint. Any advice would be appriciated.



Thanks Guys

I'd start with a pre-wax cleaner (maybe two applications on the door), sealer & glaze, and a pure carnauba wax... what Mothers calls their Ultimate Wax System, but they sell them separately. You can get it at Pep Boys. Meguiar's sells a similar 3-step system that's a little more readily available. Do the whole car and you'll probably be pretty happy. Clay and detail the trim first and you'll have a nice looking ride.
