Paint Oxidation - What to do

[Hoffman Anthony J A1C 552 CMS/MXMVC]

Brett,
I start with the wool pad, then if it is a dark car, I switch to the foam
pad as I work down in compounds. This will take care of the swirls that the
wool pad causes. They show up worse on a dark car.

Thanks for the info Tony.  What type of pad should I use on the buffer? 
  How easy is it to burn through the paint with these compounds?

I just purchased a 1992 100CS with a serious case of paint oxidation.  I
haven't tried anything on it yet, but would like some comments before I get
started. I've done body work but don't have any experience detailing.


Brett,

I'd recommended buffing it for starters (high speed buffer). I like meguires
#1 for the first step. Then, probably #2. Then a good wax of your choice.
Should shine pretty good.
