Paint oxidation on pickup

Keith

Are you sure some of the white spots aren't built up wax and polishes? I'd start by wiping the truck down with wax and grease rewmover, then use the non orbital buffer with some fairly agressive compound, then work my way up thru finer grits and finish up with the orbital and wax. I assume you know how to use the high speed buffer without burning the paint. If you haven't got that down yet, and I know no way to teach someone how over the net, go ahead and use the orbital. It will just take longer.

Up here anyone who buffs out an 82 pickup better have his tetanus shots...Assuming you can even find one to polish.

Once you get the paint to shine, the oxidation processs will start over. I have used clearcoat on such a paint job to preserve it but eventually it will look even worse when the clear starts to come off. If you use an adhesion promoter between the old paint and the clear it might work. A new paint job is the only sure bet.

LOL,, I had to read it four times to get it but good one!
