All,
I ran across this thread to restore single stage paint that was heavily oxidized. The basic premise is to wash, claybar, Meguires #7, and wax. http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-ex...age-paints.html I washed my car with regular soapy car wash water, as it was really dirty. I claybared the car, after using the baggie test and not being surprised it needed it. I did three applications of #7 per the how-to thread. I had actually previously bought some Klasse AIO and Sealent. I have to say the clay and #7 worked wonders (I left my second application of #7 on overnight), and the Klasse AIO was really easy to work with, and cleaned and shined paint, chrome and glass... really impressed with that stuff. The caveat is that single stage white paint is very hard, and its hard to show in pictures how well it came out, but given how bad shape my original paint was, the improvement is dramatic. Here's some pics after I was done:        |
