My cousin's 3rd gen is having some serious oxidation problems!! Help please!!
My cousins 1988 3rd gen Camaro has heavy oxidation on the hood, roof, and a little bit on top of the trunk. What should he do? He's tried some stuff, like GS-27 that doesn't work, and he wants to know what he should do. Help keep a 3rd gen looking good and not fall into the hell of Mullet stereotypes!

Here is a little help re: Oxidation info from Zaino Bros
Oxidation needs to be removed with an abrasive product...
like 3M Foam Polishing Pad Glaze Swirl Mark Remover #39009
see following tips...
3M Foam Polishing Pad Glaze use By hand:
Simply apply a small amount (about the size of a quarter) to a cotton
diaper or piece of cotton towel and rub back and forth into about a 1' X
1' section using light to medium pressure until it starts to dry out.
Then take a second towel and lightly rub back and forth until the polish
residue disappears and the gloss comes up. If there are still some
swirls visible you can repeat this step until they are minimal. I prefer
using a less aggressive product a couple times instead of using a more
aggressive product once. After you have done the entire car you can Dawn
wash and reapply Z-1 and Z-5/Z-2.
3M Foam Polishing Pad Glaze use By orbital:
Use a 100% cotton bonnett or a foam bonnett and apply the polish in a
thin lined growing circle starting from the center and spacing the
growing line about an inch from the last round all the way to the edge.
Place the bonnett flat on a panel and activate the polisher and begin
working the entire panel using light to meduim pressure. When you have
worked the panel thoroughly then take a clean towel and wipe the residue
off in a back and forth motion using light pressure. Then simply move to
the next section. When the entire car is done do a Dawn wash and Zaino
