FIL left his car on my driveway. I decided to polish half of his hood during lunch to see if I could improve the oxidation.
Pretty surprised by the improvement.
1st step was TLC+ with a Rupes blue DA wool pad
2nd step was Rupes DA yellow Polish with a Rupes yellow foam pad.
Finished off with a Meguiars M799 wipe down. All performed in direct sun.
I think I might leave it this way.
But in all seriousness, what is the likelihood that the oxidation will reappear in a short amount of time? I did not see any “paint checking” or other obvious signs of clear coat failure after I polished. The hood is very pitted though.
