I am the 5th owner of this car. Had I owned it from the start it would be flawless; however, that is not the case. I recently had a new motor put in along with a bunch of other things. So while the motor work was done it sat outside for about a year until I could come and pick it up. So with that being said the oxidation and other things were terrible. It's the original one stage paint from 1989, so it's a bit rough to begin with. I plan on painting it next year when I move to Fort Campbell, Kentucky. But for now, this is going to have to do until it gets fresh paint.
I used a Dewalt buffer with TPC pads (grabage pads!). I set the buffer for about 3,500 in a lot of the heavily oxidized spots and 2,600 - 3,000 for the rest of the car. I didn't spend countless hours on it, made it a pretty quick job, but for what it is, it came out great I think. I used the Turtle Wax Black Box, and I have to say, that stuff works great. It's no Zaino, Pinnacle, Poor Boys, or whatever else is better, but it did the job.
Here are the before pics:

That badly oxidized quarter panel.
Enjoy!
