Hello all,
My fiance's 94 Camry has some pretty obvious oxidation that I would like to try to improve if possible. I have a Porter Cable 5424, full set of pads, and several compounds to try. I hesitate to just go after it, because I recall reading somewhere on this forum that these old Toyotas are single stage paint, and I am not knowledgeable on working with these finishes. Anyone have suggestions, either technique, pad type, or product recommendations are all appreciated! On my shelf right now I have Meg's 83, Meg's fine cut #2, and Menzerna SIP. Happy to try something new.

And here's what the paint looks like on the other side, not heavily oxidized. The rest of the car looks pretty darn good for its age! I'd love to make it look a little better.
