Yes, I have some oxidation on the roof and trunk ldd of my '72 that I want to clean up. I tried polishing compound first then rubbing compound. It did help but there is still a lot of oxidation to get out yet. I did see a product that advertised getting it out but if rubbing compound wouldn't do it how could this other product do it?

I did a search on this topic and found 2 posts from way back with no responses, none. Please let me know what your experience has been with this problem.

Thank you!

Original paint? Are you sure it's just not getting real thin and your coming into primer?

I am fairly sure it is not primer. One morning about 2 years ago I noticed something got splashed on the roof. Almost like a pop can fell out of someones car, hit the ground near my car and left spots on the roof. I didn't get it wiped off right away but when I did there was a nice medium blue color (original color) under where the spill was. Wish I could find the guy to find out what it was so I could rub it in, let it sit and wipe a new look on.

you could do like some of the used car lots do and soak it down in interior type armor all, the silicone will soak right into the paint. Caution though, if you ever need paint work done after that the old paint will need to be completely stripped off the car. Silicone cannot be painted over.

You might try a quick wipe with a rag soaked in lacquer thinner, then let it air dry. Do it in the shade and don't rub!
