Well if the paint is only a year old it should not be oxidized, if it IS though I just tried a new product on an older car that needed a make over! Its Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover, took off the nasty old top layer look and cleared up some of my scratches.

go to autozone and pick up some clay magic clay bar for 10 dollars. then use meguiars cleaner wax and tech wax. or i just tried zymol polish and it works pretty good. once it drys its pretty hard to get off compared to other polishs but its not terrible.
