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

clay bar is a good tool. three step buffing is good too... compound, glaze, and polish. 3m products are good for buffing. if you need to get the car painted a professional is really the way to go.
