Oxidation on Paint
Looking to see if anyone has any experience with removing oxidation from paint. There is a youtube video but it's not detailed.. I have it on 2 of my vehicles.. Mainly.. The **** is on my truck and I want it off..
Anybody got any ideas or products i should use? Or should i take it to a dealer and let them fix it?

That sure looks like oxidation, or stated in not the so fun way....your clear coat is failing. I assume these cars are not single stage paint, they have a clear coat? Yes you can remove it, but it will likely just come back. The UV protection in your paint is done. You can polish it and lay down a nice sealant, but that is only buying some time.
If you plan on keeping the cars for a few years, I would just get them re cleared.
I can see from some of the photos that your cowling is grey and your wipers arms are faded badly too. Do you have to keep this truck/car outside 24/7 in the blazing sun? If so you have to have a sealant on that paint at all times, never let it wear off.
Sorry to bear such bad news.

I would take it to a detail shop or body shop. Let someone with experience do it. I like doing most of everything on my truck myself but some things I won't. Let them do a good polish on it.
