I struggled with oxidation for years and found the best approach for me was using Meguiar's Body Scrub and following with Meguiar's #7 Show Car Glaze, then topping that off with a sealant. I would wash weekly and use a quik wax to preserve the protection and keep the paint sealed. Body Scrub is no longer made but it's closest replacement is Meguiar's SwirlX. I would need to repeat this process every month or two.

To slow the oxidation I found that parking in a covered parking ramp or using a car cover during the day was most effective.

Once the paint starts to go it's a downhill run.

I finally had the car repainted about 7 years ago and it still looks like new today.
