well, my paint's clear coat was oxidizing terribly on the top f the car, and the rear pannels, so a sanded ALL of the clear off, used an aircraft 5yr saelant in place of the clear and waxed it, i just put off paint for a good long while. after i was done, took some cool pics in he driveway, the first one is my favorite let me know what you guys think!

yes i do have before pics, in my photo bucket, http://s272.photobucket.com/albums/j...iltexas186548/ it was SOOOO bad that my finger nail could scrape through the clear coat with ease, the red paint looked light pink. i used 600 grit to get throught the clear, and then it seemed like it was all gone, but i snaded a little more with it, and the red turned even darker, and then i went in an inconspicuos place, and i went through the paint . but then i knew how far to take it, and once i got it to that deep red all over, i used 800gritt, then 100, then 1500, but not to hard to i didnt go throught the paint. i then claybared it (mguires), and then again miguires color resoter polish and wax, then i used logisti-seal 2 part auto sealant (uv protectant for 5yrs i believe), then i used the mguires color restorer wax again, and it looks very deep and wet. after the logisti-seal, it looked ok, but kind dull, and then the wax REALLY made it look great

good choice! that's what i'm doing as well...unfortunately, it took me 5 years to figure out that going back to school was the best thing i could do. anyhow, good luck and keep your nose in those books! you won't make it through unless you do!
