The paint on my pride and joy a red 94' ZR is fading pretty quickly, especially on the doors. The paint doesn't have a gloss to it anymore, and looks murky and dull, I'm under the impression it's been oxidized. I was wondering what the best way to fix it was? A respray? Or Cut and polish and just keep waxing it?

If I need a respray then is there any articles I can be pointed to on how to do it? Or is it something best left to the pros?

Cheers

Try a Clay Bar...even if that doesn't work, it will remove all residue and particles in your paint ready to try the second option of a Professional Buffing.

Use of a Rotary Buffer is perfect for this situation...but unless you have a Rotary Buffer, Cutting Compound, Final Compound, Polishing Compound plus pads, it may work out cheaper to get it buffered for you by someone at a shop.

If that works for you, try using a Sealant on your paint, then apply a Wax over the sealant for the best protection.
