How Do You Remove Oxidation From A Car?
Whether you have a car with a clear coat finish or conventional car paint, your car can become dull through a chemical reaction between pigments in paint and radiation in the atmosphere called oxidation. Oxidation leaves a chalky residue on the car and it can’t be removed with washing and waxing. But, there are many other ways to remove oxidation from a car. Move your car to a shaded area or in a garage where the temperature is between 65 and 70 degrees. Do all your cleaning and detailing in this area. Choose a polish with fine grits like Smooth Cut Polish or a product that combines a polish with sealant like Klasse All-In-One or Meguiars ColorX. These products are available at auto parts stores. Make sure you buy the kind of polish that is applied by hand. If you have a clear coat finish, there are polishes available especially for your car. Apply the polish in a 1-foot area with a damp rag and rub it until the oxidation is gone. Use a clean, soft cloth to wipe the polish off. Finish
