Preferred methods for romoving light to moderate oxidation...
What are some of the "tried & true" methods for removing light to moderate paint oxidation. Are there different techniques for single stage paint versus base coat/clear coat?

I have never worked on single stage paint, so I cannot comment on that.
As for CC, the Griot's Boss creams and pads make short work of paint correction. Incredible system, easy to use, and the final results are stunning.
Also, their customer service/support is second to none. Just outstanding.

I find that many AIOs are really
good at cleaning-up/removing
light to moderate oxidation.

Yea, I too have tried a couple of AIO's. In my experience they did not truly "fix" the oxidation. They simply masked it until the AIO wore off, grrrrrr!

In that case:
It sounds like it was more than
just light to moderate oxidation.

What are you working on, and what have you tried so far?

Its a friends '02 Eldorado, black. The oxidation is mostly on the hood. Years in the brutal Vegas sunshine have indeed taken a toll. I have tried an AIO (not sold here so I am prohibited from mentioning), as well as another commonly available (OTC) polish, applied using Griots 6 in. D.A. with a foam cutting pad.
I am able to diminish the appearance, but it returns in about a month or so. As previously mentioned, it may be just to far gone for a simple polishing process to fix. I am not comfortable moving to anything more aggressive as the paint is already old and weathered. Just not worth the risk, at least not at my skill level. I'm smarter to just back away.

Is it ever possible in a base/clear coat finish for the base coat (color) to oxidize underneath the clear coat? If so, this would substantially complicate the remedy I suppose.

it sounds like the issue may be paint failure, rather than oxidation?
