I have some pretty bad oxidation. When I had my new moldings painted I had my buddy try to see if the worst stuff would buff out. It did, pretty decent. Doesn't look exactly like new, but it's cheaper than a new paint job. So I decided today to buff the rest of it out. DAMN! This is taking forever. I live in an apartment now and I move quite a ways away from all my friends. So I have no more air compressor, no more power tools and my apartment is too far away from the parking lot to consider an extension cord. I have Turtle rubbing compound and Turtle Polishing compound along with regular wax. Is there a better product out there or am I stuck doing this for the next month?
bad oxidation = trunk lid, spoiler, entire roof, entire hood (except the test part) and other odd spots...
