I received my new 6" Griot's Orbital Polisher from Autogeek 2 days ago. I also ordered the orange 6.5 foam pad. I used Klasse AIO on the sides of the 1991 T-bird I just purchased and they look great!

All of the top surfaces of the car have heavy white oxidation on blue paint. I tried Meguires Ultimate Compound, Meguires ColorX, and Klasse AIO.

I have spent about 13 hours just on half of the trunk and its finally starting to look better.

Am I using the wrong products? Hell, at this rate it will take weeks!!!

Thanks

Try 105,M80 or Optimums hyper polish (i believe thats what its called) having said that, you might have to use a ratory for the nasty stuff
 
Heavy Oxidation?
Sounds like something a little stronger is needed to actually remove the oxidation before perfecting the shine with AIO.

+1 what Flash said above.
 
Maybe yellow pad and some 105, or Menz powergloss? THen you can follow up with white pad and a milder polish some 205, or final polish.

105-205 seems to be very popular, but I have never used it before, I'm a big fan of Menzerna polishes...
 
Thanks guys, I just ordered some 105 and a yellow 6.5 foam pad.

I will let you know what happens.

Larry, without photos it's hard to tell what your up against.

Occasionally finish conditions require something a little more stout than a dual action polisher; something like a rotary. A rotary combined with a wool bonnet and the right compound will more than likely speed things up a bit.

Since you have a dual action polisher I'd recommend Lake County Yellow 5 1/2" flat pad along with Menzerna Power-Gloss or Meguiar's M105. Spin these up to 5 to 5.5 and see if it works a bit better than what you've trued so far..
