Use an automotive polish - not a wax. Polish actually removes the outer layer of paint, exposing the good paint underneath. Cutting compound is the same thing, but more abrasive (it removes the paint faster.) Using a low speed buffing machine works well, or good old elbow grease. Be careful using buffing machines - you can easily remove all the paint on panel edges and bends.
Since polishing exposes fresh paint, always wax the car after polishing - otherwise, the shiny paint won't stay that way for long. And be careful not to polish too much - if you go all the way through the clear coat, you may need a complete re-spray.
Good luck!

they make a good wax called Black Magic and another won is Mothers they work really good for oxidation. i would say that you can yous a power buffer but most in likely you would buff threw the pant so i would do it by hand. good luck

go to a good auto parts or auto paint store and ask for "Mothers" compound/polish. If it can be restored this the best.

get a good orbital buffer and some Mcguires clearcoat polish and buff away.
