Linda:
In my experience, the Speed Glaze or Machine Glaze will remove minor
oxidation, but what I notice is that if the surface is too dull to start
with, the shine after the speed glaze is a little hazy. I just finished
resuscitating a red 1991 Miata that was sort of a dull pink after three
years of pure neglect. I used two grades of rubbing compounds, one
called Diamond Cut 2.0, then some Heavy Cut Cleaner, and then finally,
the Machine Glaze, similar to the speed glaze but requiring a machine to
do it. For pads, I used waffle pattern foam pads on a 9" buffer (a gray
pad.) For the glaze, I used a finer grade foam pad (a tan one.) As the
material began to dry, as the heat would rise, I sprayed it with plain
water from a spray bottle, then buffed it until shiny. Lots of work,
but the results were worth it. For the complete Miata, I probably had 5
hours in to it.
