Mine its just the mirrors/ doorhandles/ spoiler+hood...

 

same here but guess what i did with my hood? i bought a cf hood haha my door handle is faded too..because i use to park outside alot and those are the only part on my car that have ice and oxidize

 

wet sand...buff and wax it

 

So first sand the parts? or just primer them?
Then spray adhesive promoter or no?
Then do light coats of paint, wetsand, clear coat, wetsand and buff?

 

I had the same problem when I bought my 95 gsr also- the paint was horrible, especially bumpers, mirrors, door handles, and spoiler. I got the car buffed, waxed, glazed, all that good stuff and everything came out nice no more pink all red and shinny-

Or just plain wetsand them?
I've buffed them (normal random orbit buffer/wax) no luck

buffing/waxing follows the wetsanding for shine.

 

What grits should I get the paper in?
What waxes should I purchase?
I have NXT at home?..
What glazes?

 

theres a write up somewhere on how to restore oxidation with this M3 polishing compound product or u can try this http://www.flitz.com i saw it on tv haha i might buy it and see how it comes out

 

Saw on TV/Seen on TV+ me=no go lol

 

You'de bu surprised at what that Flitz product does. I have it and use/used it very often with good results. Haven't used it on painted surface yet though. But I will. I've polished my exhaust and headlights on my EM1 and it came out great. Also did the glass on my GN.

Anyway, sorry to get OT, g/l with your project

 

Isn't that the meguires power ball^

Never used the Powerball but the Flitz product was out way before that. The Meguiars ball appears to be foam though, the Flitz it a Terry towel with "fingers". hard to explain.

Just an example,

My muffler before:

You can use it on paint also (hard to reach areas where a buffer won't/can't fit).

 

Should I get the powerball or powerball mini?
