White single stage paint
I'm working with some white single stage Toyota paint (040). I know on the heavily oxidized single stage paint you let it soak up the oils from Megs No 7. I'm wondering if this is a good practice for single stage paint with light oxidation to have the paint in the best possible condition before starting or if that would be a waste of time and product.

Re: White single stage paint
This isnt an answer to your question but I have a car with White single stage paint and one with white clearcoated and the single stage definitely has more gloss. I think in general single stage paints can have a higher gloss than clearcoats

I'd skip #7. It does nothing to Toyota Super White. I only use #7 on vehicle older than 20 yrs. with single stage paint. I'd go straight to a compound or a medium cut polish. Super white is very hard

Re: White single stage paint
The only time I ever had to use aggressive yellow pads (Lake Country) and a serious compound (Poorboys #3) was on a Corolla with white single stage paint. It was a bugger and took several steps to get it looking decent and glossy once again. Even with a Cyclo, and many pads, it was a bear to get it right. I wish you the best outcome.

Re: White single stage paint
this may not answer your question either, but recently hand rubbed out a '96 corolla with cheap Scratch Out compound; took 2 days... still shines 5 months later; maybe this above approach, then #7, then #26..?

Last time I did one it was pretty heavily oxidized. I hit it with a rotary, wool, and 105. It went pretty quick. The paint actually didn't look too bad after that step.
