My girlfriend used a wool pad to scrub off bugs from her front bumper.

This is my Stealth Turbo. Yes, this is my fault. I'm so embarrassed!

My big project for next week is to get this oxidation taken care of so I can finally get this car sold and out of my driveway!

Money from it's sale goes to goodies for the G!

Since I'll post new ones when this project from hell is over. I think I'll try to use up all of my my old Meguiar's products up on this car instead of the cool new products I need to buy from George for the G.

I don't think that was oxidation, I think it might have been clear coat failure.

You're talking about when the color gets faded, right? How else would oxidation present on paint?

I think it is an Altima thing, because that was almost as bad as what my girlfriend did to hers. Wait, what are you doing with my girl?

Cause clearcoat doesn't oxidaze and I thought all the G's have clearcoat and none of them are single stage.
