Much appreciated brother! I did the same thing to my ‘07 F250 and the hazy paint now looks like a mirror. I was terrified of wet sanding my baby, but I am so glad I followed this video!!!
This is amazing! I have a 22 year old Lexus that will get attention this weekend. Has tons of oxidation. Didn't realize this was possible. Thank you for posting.
Thanks for the video. Want to surprise my son when he gets back from deployment by bringing back the paint job on his oldie but goodie 97 Camry and get the windows tinted for him. Mechanically the car runs like a clock, just the paint job totally is oxidized which is no bueno!
Now that's one great tutorial. Straight to the point and the correct way. Young Man you earned a big Ol Dammit Boy from Fort Worth Texas. Thanks for sharing new subscriber Blessings and more Blessings
I have seen a lot of videos but I must say your is by far the simplest, easy to understand video. this video motivated me to do this to my suburban. thanks bro. I also subscribed.
Thanks for the post. Very easy to learn and follow. Buffing my z and Durango this weekend for the first time I was a bit nervous. After this I feel pretty confident. Thanks again.
great tip i have a red fiat punto with same problem but i thought i was going to have to spray bonnet and wings ,watching this is great and its going to safe me alot of money i dont have,thanks so very much going to try it before winter sets in,
Would rather use a clay bar or clay block on the whole car instead of sandpaper and grind away at the clear coat or paint causing a bigger job to refine..Then use a scratch remover which doubles as your polisher if there are imperfections the sealant cant handle, then a sealant to give it a finish and finally a good wax coat to protect your hard work..Just my experience..Research before touching your vehicle surface.. PS: If your vehicle has a thin clear coat or no clear coat using a sand paper is a bad idea unless your repainting your vehicle..
It’s very useful and short video, I like that you cut the bs and went directly to the point, just have a question for you what’s the easiest way to remove dry wax residue from the car ?
nice job I have a job like that to do this week and have the same HF polisher and the HF DA polisher. I wasn't sure if I were going to wet sand but now I'm sure that I will great job.

You should note that this process removed the clear coat of the paint. All cars have a layer or layers of paint and then a clear coat finish process that protects the paint. The paint on you car will need to be frequently clayed, polished and waxed now that the clear coat is gone. You should put up a video on how to apply a clear coat because that is the only lasting way to keep the paint healthy.
+Brett Vogel I have a set of videos on applying a clear that I am not sure if I should publish. I don't feel like i made them "professional" enough and it's pricey to redo the video.
the result is fine BUT... on an faded paint, the surface is porous and the fine finish obtained doesn't last. this paint needs a constant waxing attention to stay glossy that's not the fault of the process but from the components of the paint that are altered by the UV and road salts.
Good video. 1 important step was skipped though. After sanding & compounding you have to polish with a foam pad & polish otherwise the paint will have swirl marks everywhere.
Thank you brother for the free vid. Looks awsome man!!!!! I'm goin to do this to my 97 cicic coupe I have a bit of oxidation on my roof and trunk. Look amazing nice and shiny 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👌👌👌👌
the thing with rotary is that its basicly a MUST to use a DA and compound/polish it, depends how bad the rotary induced swirls/haze is also known as "love marks". only a handful of people in america can pull off a rotary polishing without any swirls/halos, and especially on newer cars (1990+) where there is thinner layer of paint and then clear coat, if you burn that out (which happens fast with rotary) well, we all know what happens next. the wax you applied after rotary hid the love marks, which would occur the next time you wash it with something that removes wax, or simply the wax deteriorates over time.
+TheDim3s Great detailed comment. Your absolutely correct. Believe it or not, the car in the video actually did come out perfect. No marks. When I was starting to polish, a way to remove the "love marks" was to use a scratch remover or swirl remover. It's more of a crutch though and I wouldn't want to be using it on every car. It's a little pricey for a small bottle. In the end, I've come to the conclusion that if you live a desert like El Paso and you keep your vehicle outside, it best to get the top coat redone if the clear coat hasn't failed yet. I did that to a car I have and it's outlasted the polished car by a long shot. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching!
Liar ! How did Rolce Royce Phantom get oxidated ?? You always park it in the sun and harsh weathers or something?? the paints usually last 10yrs straight
Good job mate. I own a high end custom detail shop and must say I like your style and teaching. Should have followed up using a finishing pad along with a light polish, I love 3M Ultra Fine Polish. Miracle Detailing
+MrRedex88 Thanks for you input. I have gotten good at restoring but trying to get better at the finish. Ill go to my supplier and see if he has 3M ultra Fine Polish.
If you leave your car unprotected and out in the elements, the paint will most likely oxidize. The first level of oxidation will happen and you will not notice it over a period of a month or more. Light oxidation can be treated through regular paint cleaning and polishing. Waxing your car after each cleaning will also help protect your car’s paint. The second level of oxidation is moderate oxidation. Just like light oxidation, it can be repaired using a cutting polish. The hardest oxidation to deal with is heavy oxidation. This may happen after a year of your car being unprotected. This can be described by a dull, chalky surface on your car’s paint. It may even be difficult to restore but there are products you can always try before getting a paint job done.
Should you wet sand only the places there is oxidation? There are oxidation spots only on the wing of my sorento. The whole thing is not oxidized . The spots that are not oxidized are shiney as new.
Looks great, but if buffing like this removes clear coat, how many times can you really do this and still have clearcoat left on the car? I know you said to wax, but wax is no substitute for a clear coat as a good clear coat will outlast any wax. ?
great video Christian Macias! Thanks tons for making it! I need some response from you'all out here to this question, "Is this a problem w/ HONDA cars?" I have a Honda Fit and I have oxidation on the hood of my Fit, sooo ugly, I had NEVER seen this on my Toyota's, which were also parked outside in the sun here in Dallas, TX. My Dad told me I should call Honda, but my car is out of warranty now. What do you'all think. I do love my Fit though, but this oxidation thing is giving me Fits! LOL! pun intended. Also my headlights are all oxidized. I just fixed those w/ Meguiars Ultimate Compound since it was not heavily oxidized yet & that seemed to work.
Mr. Macais - thank you for the video. I have a 93 celica with plenty of oxidation. Wish I could talk with you as I have some questions ....if you respond here then I can go on to ask you...I am very nervous about attempting this..I would love to describe the oxidation on my car as it seems like the paint may be flaking I am not sure.
Hello Christian, I have a 2009 Hyundai that did not get a factory paint seal of some sort. Now the Paint is peeling and it is rusty underneath the paint. I bought wax but need to know if there is anything I can do before painting & then waxing it? On a budget, Thank you, K
Used 1200 grit sandpaper and meguires ultimate compound. I didn't touch the oxidation . I have a 2019 Civic kind of ridiculous my paint is like this so early on. I wash regulary with a soap & wax . I also tried nu fishish polisher . Any suggestions?
I really love detailing cars- and I've had experience detailing my lights with wet/dry sandpaper, but I don't know how in god's name you managed to restore it without using a finer grade sandpaper. I tried 2000 grit and it induced marring. Guess it's back to ChrisFix for me. I'll have to try 3000/5000 to fix the marring.
+Rotten Girl hi, i didn't let the buffer sit and kept the speed fairly slow. That's how I avoid marring. When i started polishing I used a compound to remove marring. I'll post it in the description. The compound was specifically rated for sand paper at that grit. Also the less sanding I was able to do, the better. I didn't want people to watch this video and over sand their car, leading to clear coat failure. Thanks for watching! I always appreciate good feedback.

that buffing was impecable this whole time i thought i was looking at the interior but it was the reflection whole time
Thanks for the post. Very easy to learn and follow. Buffing my z and Durango this weekend for the first time I was a bit nervous. After this I feel pretty confident. Thanks again.
Finally a very good video on how to do this. Thanks man

Anyone using a rotary be careful it burns the paint and ur rubber moldings. Even painters tape to protect edges.
This is the best video to help someone with zero experience. Thank you!
Should you skip polish?
I am so happy to find this video!! Amazing results. Thank you.
It’s very useful and short video, I like that you cut the bs and went directly to the point, just have a question for you what’s the easiest way to remove dry wax residue from the car ?
I’m not sure but it’s not easy! 😂
GREAT VIDEO! I'm very shocked and impressed on the results
Excellent, clear concise and is not afraid to own up to his mistake (painters tape)
Best video I’ve seen on this topic!
This video was helpful. Straight to the point, most peolpe just ramble on about bullshit
nice job I have a job like that to do this week and have the same HF polisher and the HF DA polisher. I wasn't sure if I were going to wet sand but now I'm sure that I will great job.
Great video & straight to it! Dealing with civic fade on a black 08...video makes the process very promising!
Fantastic video, I will be definitely using the same process this weekend on my 95 GMC Sierra 1500...it is very oxidized on the hood and roof..

Thanks for the vid. I have a 97' E class thats been sitting outside for 8 or 9 years. The car has heavy oxidation. Will try this out tomorrow.
I second all the positive reviews!!! Great video..
Bro thanks for the How to! Added to my playlist!
Superb stuff man...u jes saved many of us a lot of dollars in paint works!
Dude that came out fantastic
Hey man thanks for the straight to the point vid. Really helpful thanks...
Your videos are great for ASMR. I watch them a lot for that reason alone.
what most people think is oxidized paint is really clear coat peeling off. when your done put a new coat of clear on the paint.
Excellent results and good job!
Intro *car revved*
Me: revv up your engi.... oh wait this isn't Scotty
Lmao no.burn out dang
lmao, made me laugh, im a big fan of Scotty

Christian Macias is it possible to put a clear paint after doing this process? Planning to do this later to my car. Thank you for the response
Great video man. I'm gonna give it a shot. Much less than repainting
the result is fine BUT... on an faded paint, the surface is porous and the fine finish obtained doesn't last. this paint needs a constant waxing attention to stay glossy
that's not the fault of the process but from the components of the paint that are altered by the UV and road salts.

Cool video that I can apply to my 97' Chevrolet Silverado, new subscriber here👍🇺🇸..
Did you clay before this? What about after sanding, can you spray clear over that?
Excellent, excellent video!!!! WOW what an amazing difference!

you can always apply a new clear coat on top after sanding

Nice video brosive. Good work bro

fantastic job. thanks for the video will be attempting this.
+angeltiger82 Your welcome! The shine is definitely worth the time.
Good Job bro Keep up the good work and tutorials
Looks nice
Excellent video..
Thank you
I wish I saw this video before I sold my car because of oxidation and bought a new one.
What kind of car did you have?
Rolls Royce Phantom.
Liar ! How did Rolce Royce Phantom get oxidated ?? You always park it in the sun and harsh weathers or something?? the paints usually last 10yrs straight
ha ha, the comments are from two different people; and that was a troll :)
Bwahahahahahaha!
Good video, simple and straightforward..
Wow! You made that look absolutely easy.. Thank You !
Very easy to follow and good results.
Looks good im going to try that on my old truck.
THANKS BRO, very informative, will attempt next weekend.
Turned out great!
Thank you!
thats awesome. looks great. my car is so bad. way worse than this one I hope it turns out ok
Super cool man!, Thanks!, I'll try t on my 2007 Camry SE roof spots! CHEERS! thx again!

wowwwww man that is really awesome!!!! thank you for sharing I gonna have to do that process.
Thanks for this video! Going to do my whole car- should I clay bar first or does the sanding make that irrelevant?
The 3M will remove holograms and without any dusting.
Use the black finishing pad or the 3M Ultra Blue Pad
Nice Job! looks great!
Wow what a difference!! Thanks 4 the tips✌✌
Great video!👍😀
excellent video!
Thanks man this was very helpful 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Wouldve liked to have seen the wax/polish procedure(wax product) part..Im doing a C5 Vette Targa top section..
you made it look so easy because you have a heavy duty cutting wool pad . I spend hours puffing with a stupid cheap cutting foam pad .
Super informative thanks man
great video ! subbed !
Great job, looks so much better! D300 and sanding were excellent choices, but finishing with what appeared to be turtle wax? Questionable. Lol
Should you wet sand only the places there is oxidation? There are oxidation spots only on the wing of my sorento. The whole thing is not oxidized . The spots that are not oxidized are shiney as new.
Great video, Thanks!
Awesome tutorial, thx bro👍🏿
PINCHY CHRISTIAN U GET DOWN JAMES BROWN!!! TE SALIO CHINGON WEY!!!!!
Wow!! I wonder if this will work on my Toyota corolla that has oxidation on the roof of my car

Absolutely fucking perfect job you did there. Thank you for the detailed explanation. Liked and subb'd!
That looks great thanks! Going to do mine soon, hope it turns out like yours. What polishing model # (tool) did you get from Harbor freight?
wow man ..that looks amazing. what the brand of the buffer.
Drill Master! Just something I picked up from harbor freight

Hello, thanks, can it be done by hand instead of that rotary machine providing the area to correct is small? Thanks
Yes it is possible. I did it by hand before using the rotary tool. It just took much longer
Used 1200 grit sandpaper and meguires ultimate compound. I didn't touch the oxidation . I have a 2019 Civic kind of ridiculous my paint is like this so early on. I wash regulary with a soap & wax . I also tried nu fishish polisher . Any suggestions?
Well done. But how do you know if you sand/buff too much clear coat, and what to do if so?
Will a DA polisher work or has to be a rotary polisher and whata about the pad can it be a foam pad?
NIce! Thanks for sharing great help.
Good video. While buffing, you should have the wire resting on your shoulder.

after the buffing process can you spray clear coat to get that extra protection?
I got a 96 GMC Sierra with a sun faded hood not sure if this would work. It's got some spots where the paint peeled off but not too bad
+Ryan Dibble if the paint has started peeling, then it probably will not do it much justice.
What if I used 1500 grit sandpaper and then say 3000 grit sandpaper? Would that suffice instead of needing a buffer?
