I had a neighbor years ago who had a Datsun 1200 with solid paint but
badly oxidized. He took a sponge and bucket of water with a bunch of
Comet mixed in and "washed" it. It removed the oxidation and actually
brought out a bit of a shine! He then followed it up with Turtle Wax
rubbing compound and wax. It looked really good from 10-15 ft.

Subject: Re: body refinisher from the 70's
Thanks, WST. Yeah, I knew that but my paint is trash. All I want to
do at the moment is get the bad oxidation off and put a little shine
back on it. Plan is when I retire and get into my shop in Georgia to
strip the entire car down and do a really good paint job on it. Til
then, I just want to spiffy it up a little so its not quite as ratty
as it is now. Mechanically its doing pretty well, but paint wise, its
a genuine RAT car.....
Cheers!!
