Any help for the ol' girl? Paint resto

[klavender1]

Before and after 4 years. I let it bake out in the sun for many many months like an idiot. It was a second car and didn't get driven that much. It's my only car now and I would like to get it looking a little better without having to get it painted. The oxidation is pretty bad on the roof and trunk too. I haven't done anything besides a clay bar yet. Which didn't do anything. I'm not a detailing expert obviously. Any ideas on the steps I need to take? Or is it worthwhile?

Good compound and polish job will bring a ton of life back into that paint.

Heres some inspiration. This was one or two applications of cheap meguiars polish on my diamond schwartz decklid.

Your clear is starting to break down pretty badly. You can try compound & a buffer, but you'll probably just take off more clear & still not have much shine. Gonna' need paint before too long I'm afraid...
You can bring it to me & I'll do a show quality job cheaper than other shops (I don't have much overhead & I'm not greedy). :)
I'm in N.E. Ga.; folks have brought me cars from as far away as Ohio.
You can email me at ImThaDriver at yahoo.

Thanks. I may try that. I've got a friend that's been painting cars for 15 years and offered to paint it for me. I just have to detrim it and leave it with him for a while. So he can do it in his spart time. But, I would have to have another car to drive. And no money for that right now. Just was thinking of what I could do in the mean time. I'm not going to put a whole lot of effort into it for no reward. Especially since it's probably need a respray anyways.
