Broken_Wankel Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I have pretty damn bad oxidized paint on the roof of my car. I bought it this way, so it's not my fault!! Anyway, I've cleaned it up pretty well considering just how bad it was before, alas, as you can tell from the pic, my paint still looks like shit. I was for the most part wet sanding it with 2000 grit paper by hand, and I also tried using a claybar, and also some turtle wax swirl removal crap. Still looks pretty bad....so, what exactly should I do to fix this problem. I've spent probably close to 6 hours getting to the point it is now....as I said, it looks alot better then it did before. Here's a pic if it'll help. http://usera.imagecave.com/Slomaro/badroof.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rally Pat Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 We used rubbing compound and elbow grease on my dad's Porsche. That seemed to take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Some type of abrasive cleaner and a good wax and you might be able to get that out. Looks like it might have been let go for too long to salvage the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken_Wankel Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Hmm...well, can't really afford a paint job at this time. I'll try to find some montego blue in a little spray can and see how that turns out. Shouldn't be to bad if I blend it in well. Any places around here would have something in that particular color? When I was going to college in Dayton, I know there was an PPG paint place, but havn't seen one around here. I checked on the web and found the color code to be M8 I believe.
