Factory Paint Job

[SHOGHOST]

Hey, its been a while since I posted anything since I moved but the past month my car has started oxidizing in obvious spots. I was just wondering if anyone else had these problems with a 99.

Gotta wax the car. Keep the contaminates off the car.

clay bar, then wax

 

[ricky]

you want to post on the Taurus car web site to see if is a green paint problem.

Yeah I have been wawxing the car every since i got it but i have only had it about a year

Remember that car pollish (and some waxes) are slightly abrasive which can strip away some of your clear coat. Over time that will expose some of the underlying paint and lead to oxzidation. Just be carefull because some of the shine you get from pollishing is because you are sanding the dirt off (so to speak).

Yeah I used a claybar to see if that works because i had a couple people tell me it does and it took the clearcoat right off and since i wanted to get the car painted anyway, this just gives me a good excuse.

The clay bar won't take the clear off, at least not on the cars I've used it on (my 91+, my Dad's 350z, and my brother's 98 Mustang GT).
