I've got an old, as in 1987, Land Rover and the paintwork is badly oxidised.

Clearly I'm not going to lavish my Zymol Destiny on it but I'd like to get it back a bit, any ideas?

My father swears he used Vim on a car in about 1963 and it worked but there surely must be something wwhich would get of the worst of the oxidisation.

Cheers

Rust isn't my issue really, although ther is a fair quantity of that as well, it paint oxidisation.

I've been in touch with Farecla who make the G3 and other pastes and they reccomend G4 compund.

Ordered some so I'll let you know!
