Re: Looks like its past the point of no return or just severely oxidized? Can it be fixed?
Looks pretty bad. Perhaps Optimum clear coat restorer would help. Looks like AG doesn’t sell it though. Unless I’m missing it.
You can try compounding and you may get lucky.......Perhaps it was resprayed with single stage paint.

Looks like severe oxidation. A test spot will tell you what you will need. Do you have a polisher? Are you a detailer?

Re: Looks like its past the point of no return or just severely oxidized? Can it be fixed?
I've seen oxidized clearcoats worse than that come back.
It just depends upon the history of the car or more specifically - the history of the paint.
Has it been chopped on by a caveman detailer all it's life or just neglected? This will in part determine how much paint is there or NOT there.
You might get lucky but you'll never know what you can do until you try.
I'd hit it with BLACKFIRE One Step, a foam cutting pad and the BEAST.

Just neglected, and probably ran through the swirl o matic a few times. I can recall when she first bought the car. As I can recall I have been the only one to detail it and I haven't done any paint correction on it. Thank you so much for your input on this! I don't know what I'd do without the forum! I will probably have to use my rotary as I don't have the BEAST right now, but I'll post some pics up when I get done! I'm sure it will turn out awesome! Thanks again brother!

Roger that! Yes I am a detailer / weekend warrior / hobbyist. I currently have a Mac Tools battery operated rotary, of course looking to add to the collection in the future. Thank you so much for your input!

If you get the quart of the BF One Step - it's like gettig a second 16 ounce bottle for 10 bucks.
The best way to buy it is the 32 ounce bottle. This is why you never see me recommend the 16 ounce bottle. Plus once you use it once, the 32 ounce bottle won't last long, it's really good stuff.
