Single Stage & Will #7 Help?

[kevinb]

Would like to again repost some pics of a paint issue on an antique ford truck now sitting in my garage. I posted under "detailing 101"(perhaps the wrong post for more opinions and help?), and received a terrific link to an article you had written regarding single stage paint correction using #7. Am anxious to dive in to that approach, but Since I am not familiar with what type of paint this is, was hoping for confirmation if indeed it appears single stage and if indeed this blemish is simply oxidation and correctable or perhaps just deteriorating paint and not correctable. I do not believe this to be a really old paint job, but then again I have no history on the truck. First pic is representative of the paint condition on 99% of the truck and remaining pics are of the damage area. Would greatly appreciate your advice or anyone else's 2 cents worth and am guessing that #7 is not going to do any harm regardless, but just searching for opinion. thanks so much for anyone who wishes to offer an opinion.

Did your applicator have color on it? If so, it's single stage paint. Looks like clear coat failure to me.

I haven't done anything to it at all yet. I thought that if it were oxidation would it not be strange for it to only be on one spot on the whole truck? Would it not be elsewhere? Thus, I thought it more attributable to some type of damage, but I am so inexperienced as to evaluate it. Thanks so much for the response.

Oxidation can start on part of the vehicle and spread elsewhere, and meguiars number 7 will put some nutrients back into the paint but it wont wipe away the oxidation though
