Frustrated with oxidation!!!

[msharpe785]

I live in Glendale AZ. Moved here in 2016 from No. Florida. This is truly an extreme environment from June to September/October. I have never seen so many vehicles with clear coats completely gone. Given it is not kept in garage and its black....sounds likes an uphill climb. I am lucky enough to keep my 3 vehicles in garage but spend alot of time maintaining the clear coats. I also have a 26 foot boat I keep in dry dock. I had to get a cover to keep the top side gel coat from suffering heavy oxidation every summer.
Good luck.

2black1s has a good approach to the problem...one product I could recommend is Chemical guys..."Bare Bones".

seems like an avenue that would work if the clear coat is not savable...

Chemical Guys Bare Bones Undercarriage Spray 16 oz.

I'm intrigued by 2black1s's approach. Might be worth a shot.

With his background in paint, I'd say it's probably the answer without repainting/clearing.

Hey guys...thank you for all of your replies!!! Got a few options to think about here.

There is no black paint on my pads (yet)! So, I think I do have some clear coat left. At this point I think I will try one more round of polishing, followed by either a ceramic or graphene coating and see how long I can get out of that. I'll report back and let you know how it goes so that others may learn from my experience. Prevention is always better than trying to find a cure later on!!!

The ceramic or graphine(buzzword) lol, more than likely will not do you any good....been there done that, it did not help me when i was in the same situation.
Might i suggest either reclear/repaint or try as 2black1s suggested. His option will be so much easier on your wallet

Sounds like a good candidate for Optimum’s clear coat restorer.
