Awesome, great ideas [emoji106] So in order i'm going to try: IronX Nanoskin fine-medium towel Nanoskin fine DA pad Are mineral spirits safe for the paint? Sounds too harsh no? I've got everything on order. After xmas is over i'm going to go to town on it. I'll post up my results when done...

I've tried to clay and was not successful. I should have specified earlier, the entire roof is covered in them, the hood had some, the side of the car has them but much smaller and not nearly as bad. I think you're right, it must be fallout from parking near something. Could this be from...

We havent had sun out in a while, it's been very rainy here in GA but should clear up in a day or so. Here's i think a better pic: One thing i just realized, i was able to remove one of the speckles with my finger nail by scratching it gently. Interesting that thats possible but clay bar...

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've been on here but I recently picked up a Black raven Cadillac CTSV coupe! The car is in great condition but after further inspection it has the "speckles" all over the paint on the front/top of the car. They are very fine, at first i thought they were...

Link?

Interesting, do you get good results using it with a foam pad or just with the microfibers?

Yes! I forgot to mention that i have already purchased a few things Meguiars #7 included :-) I now have that along with the nanoskin fine sponge, a TON of microbiber towels (those have already come in handy!) meguiars microfiber wash mit. I probably mentioned some of that already. I had two...

Forgot to add Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant I see you mentioned this and I am assuming a sealant like this will prevent further damage better than a wax alone?

Thanks Cardaddy, Yes I do indeed have the 19" rims and due to time and laziness didn't feel like pulling the lights out in order to do the job. Taping off the lights was not difficult and application was easy due to being all by hand. Step 1 I had a type of polish that I used a microfiber to rub...

If i use Uber to try to remove oxidation, do i need to follow up with swirl remover and then polish or just Uber and Polish? Edit: Never mind, answered in post #25

Ok following up a bit here. I am not quite ready to tackle the paint but over the weekend i hit my oxidized headlights with Opticolor headlight restoration kit and the results were amazing! Before: After:

Thanks for the offer Cardaddy but due to lack of free time and a crazy schedule I think I'll be tackling this one myself. Plus it gives me an excuse to buy absolutely everything I need. :xyxthumbs: Posting pics of the damage, let me know if this is indeed oxidation (pretty sure it is). The last...

Thanks for the info guys! Cardaddy, not only do we share G35's but also I am North of Atlanta ;-) Mine is a Diamond Graphite 6MT Coupe. I did find out after I purchased it (which was 6 years ago now) that it had been in an accident prior but it wasn't reported until after I purchased it! I...

I have a 2006 Infiniti G35 that oddly has medium oxidation on one side of the hood and along both A pillars. The rest of the car is in pretty good condition but with faint swirls. I am new to paint care but do know that I am going to need a DA. Can you point me into the right direction as to...
