I went ahead and just waxed it with McGuire’s liquid gold and it turned out better than I expected.

The Government cannot give anyone anything that they didn’t first forcibly take from someone else!

you can try meguiar's cleaner wax as well, it will help remove some of the oxidation

Yeah theres nowt the matter with that, very nice !

i wouldnt paint it i think that truck looks really good with the original paint.
but i guess, idk much about this paint stuff. but id just figure a new coat of paint maybe.

I think I’m just going to put another coat or two of wax on it and quit worrying about it. I’m not going to repaint a factory pant job that is still in decent shape.
Dad has a 69 Dodge swinger with the original paint, maybe someday my Ranger will be like that.

I'd use a rotary buffer with compound first and then polish. It's really not that far gone and I made much much worse looking red vehicles look brand new with this method when I detailed the used cars at a ford dealership. Red ALWAYS comes back this way. Other colors don't work quite as well.

I got 2 coats of McGuire’s liquid gold on her now and she looks real good from 10 feet away and pretty good close up. I’m going to settle with that for now. I tried some rubbing compound on the roof and my arms almost fell off before I got it all off, that is way more work then I’m willing to do. If she gets looking bad again I might try some of that new stuff that chemically does the same thing as the old buff compound.
After all I got more important things to worry about lie fixing cruise control, if I can’t get cruise to work then I’m going to hate driving the darn thing even more.

next time you wax, try meguiar's cleaner wax, it's got a little more bit then the wax you used so it will clean up that paint that much more
