Oxide Reducing Emulsion to Restore Faded, Oxidized or Sun Damaged Car Paint, Peeling Clear Coat and Dull Headlights in a Simple DIY Operation. Easier to apply than wax, needs no polishing

I believe this is an EXCELLENT product. I think most of the negative reviewers are either expecting their car to look perfect afterward, lack the patience to do this correctly or did not follow the directions exactly. This product seems to act something like a sealant that kind of fills in the imperfections to make them much LESS visible. Not invisible. Let’s be real. We can’t expect perfection at this low price. Also, the small container goes a long way, so use it sparingly. I bought the two pack. It takes some time to dry which leads me to believe if you allow it to set in properly, it may actually last awhile. OH, AND DON’T FORGET THE SECOND APPLICATION! I did the first yesterday and will do the second in 2-4 days.

It partially worked in some places. But my paint may have been too far gone for it to work. I was hoping for a miracle but this product didn't deliver as advertised.

My car spends a lot of time in front of the house. The sun must hit it at just the right angle because the only part of the car showing oxidation was a back left panel. I tried various compounds that advertised oxidation removal, but nothing came close to removing it. Looking at videos online, it looked like removing oxidation was going to need a professional's touch, or at least a bunch of tools and chemicals. I then found this little beauty. It's expensive, but it works where others fail. If you look at the pictures, you'll see the dramatic improvement after two applications 5 days apart. I just applied it by hand using an old, white t-shirt and kept the car in the garage for day to let it set. As the description says, this won't be as good as a professional repainting or detail. But it certainly makes the oxidation less noticeable at a glance. Someone has to look at that specific location at a specific angle to see that the color is a little duller.

After hand washing, doing a wet sand (1500 grit), rewashing and drying my car, I was excited to see this product at work. Some words of wisdom, don't skimp on the sanding part. I had tons of small spots where the clear coat was failing, and while the wet sanding helped, I probably could have done it another hour or two to really even everything out.The good: just as advertised a little goes a long way. I didn't have to use much to cover the car. Immediately, the ugly white failing clear coat was much smoother.The bad: if you have a dark colored car, it can be difficult to see where you have already applied the product. If you have the slightest ridge between color and clear coat your cloth will leave fibers behind. Its time consuming: be aware you should have some significant prep work, application time, and then lots of time to let it dry. That's just the first application.The ugly: I read the instructions carefully, but would suggest they add another clause. We had very high humidity the day I applied the product resulting in a streaky, sticky, uneven finish. Granted it states don't apply if rain, fog, or mist are present, but hey I live on the coast and it's rare to have low humidity, and I can't plan my entire life around a car's paint job. I can't say I'm mad at the company, but buyer beware about water in the air. I'm optimistic that a 2nd coat will remedy some of the issues.Final thoughts: The car looks much better from 50 yards away, but close up, it's a hot mess. The stickiness is holding dirt, and its kind of splotchy, streaky, watery look, but again hoping a 2nd coat will help. I could probably do some kind of solvent to remove it and reapply, but its a 10 year old car. Bottom line if prepped and properly applied this product makes a failing clear coat less noticeable. Its no cure all, but probably worth an afternoon of work and the approximately $30 price tag.

Good but doesn't go as far as expected for the price. Small bottle was not enough for my vehicle so I had to purchase 2 additional bottles.

The media could not be loaded. Primo, I have a 2004 X3 which had substantial clear coat flaking on the hood and top. I wondered if there was some wonder elixir that would solve my problems. I watched several online videos about this to-good-to-be-true product so I figured I'd give it a shot. I have to say that I was amazed. This product does exactly what it says it will do. It made my BMW quite presentable. From a distance, you couldn't tell there were any issues with the paint. Don't think that this will bring your paint back to 'as new' condition. It won't. As you'll see in my photos and video, it does a remarkable job. Another amazing thing about L'Oxide is how far the little bottle goes. I put 2 full coats on my roof and 3 on my hood, with still a little left in the bottle. The images show before/after shots of my roof and the video shows the improvement 2 coats can make. (Note how I've sanded the clear coat flush)Important: You need to wet sand the clear coat down to the point that you can't feel any 'edges' where the clear coat meets the paint. Use at least 1500 grit wet sandpaper. Any raised edges will still show a little after the application.The one down side is that mine wore off in about 3 months. The clear coat edges peeled a bit so it needed some light sanding before the next application. But for an instant huge improvement for your weathered, paint and peeling clear coat, I would highly recommend L'Oxide.Update after 6 mos: When initially applied I was very happy with the way this product took my peeling clear coat from a 2 to an 8. (Again, check out my video and you'll see the remarkable difference right off the bat) However, 3 months later, it started wear off and the clear coat began to peel. Which meant reapplying. Reapplying the product was easy but I had to sand down all of the flaky white edges that reappeared. But realize that backk 3 mos ago my paint was so bad, I had been close to junking it. So I'd stick with the product but just realize that it's magic needs to be attended to much more regularly than a regular car wax does. And keep in mind that I live in Phoenix where the sun can be quite brutal. I hope this helped.
