Oxidation can be buffed out...but it depends how far into the layer of paint it is. If it is a car that has clear coat paint system, then the only way to restore it is repaint the car. You've seen these cars. They're the one's that look like someone peeled the top layer off the car. If it is not a clear coat paint job the best way is to go to a body shop supply store and talk to them about products that will help you. 3M has a host of products for this. Or find someone who works in a GOOD body shop and see if they want to make some side money. Not trying to rub it in..but a claybar every 6 months and a good waxing/polishing every 60 days, would have eliminated you being in this position, assuming you owned this car from the beginning. I wish you well.

no this is my lil project im signing the z over to my wife but i dont believe that it has clear on it either that or it doesnt have the orange peel but this car was driven through a fence and the chips say that it is just a gloss black so i might be able to clay bar it out...its not that bad just early stages but thanks alot...if all else fails ill have a black lawn for awhile

Should give the car a good wash (proper wash)
Clay the car... use some sort of detail spray along with the clay.. Then go for some swirl removal product with a nice swirl pad with a DA... that'll knock out swirls and a ton of the oxidation. Then polish (helps clean the paint and seal it from oxidation) then wax it.. 1-2 times depending on how good you want it to be. The biggest points would be Claying, Swirl Removal and Polishing... to remove oxidation.

what year is the car ? ,if its a 4th gen then it has a clear coat unless something has been done.Like a repaint or the clear was removed for some odd reason.
