I have a car coming up with heavy oxidation. I did a test spot with the griots system on polish 1 and it took several passes before the oxidation to be removed. Wondering what products you guys would recommend to remove it with just one pass. Pad? Polish?
I have only used griots orange pad, what LC pad would that be comparable to?

What are you working on?
Are you sure it's oxidation and not clear coat failure?

If it is oxidation and not CCF I would recommend using Megs Ultimate Compound and an Orange or White pad on the GG6 at speed 4-4.5... Check out this thread (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/38537-hmmmmmm3-mmmmmmmm3.html) as that is what I did and the owner was so happy with the job...
He actually didn't recognize his car!

My civic looks like it was washed with a brillo pad. original finish from 1994...now, the tricky part on establishing if it still has clear is this: i used a little meg's 105 on a rag, polished the fender. the rag was BLOOD RED(car's color) but the finish where i tried 105 gleamed...so is the clear gone? or???

I'm pretty sure but not 100% that the 94 civics were single stage paint
