Depending how bad the damage is, yes wetsanding will remove heavy oxidation. To do this you will need wet sand paper(fine grit), Heavy compound, medium/light compound, polish, wax, & a HIGH SPEED buffer. Doing it by hand will never get the job done perfectly.

Wet sanding is only needed in sevre cases. Heres the process

1. wash/dry car out of direct sunlight
2. wet sand
3. heavy compound with a cutting pad - low speed
4. med/light compound with a polishing pad - medium speed
5. polish with a finishing pad - high speed
6. apply wax or sealant by hand or orbital buffer

A picture would help.

If you wetsand your car you going to have to clear coat it after.
Wetsanding takes all the clear of and makes the paint look dull.

Thats why wet sanding is not enough. Usually atleast 5 steps up to 7 or 8 steps with different levels of compounds & polishes. If you dont have have or have access to the chemicals & buffers, your better off taking it to a detail shop. All the supplies & equipment would run you nearly $300 or more to to this process properly.

how much would a detail shop charge about?

$75-$150 depending on the damage
