That will need re painted.

The clear is dead from heat and exposed the base coat.

that's what I figured thanks

That isn't oxidation. The clear coat delaminated from the base. You are going to need to shoot a new base and clear coat.

Yeah, there's a thread in the 80 section right now where more than one person is telling this guy that this can be buffed out

Not in this lifetime. Deal is, the paint and clearcoat bonded. However, the base didn't bond to the primer. You can't buff it, because the base color is no longer there. They need to get back to the mall, and count their cupholders, or somethin!

It is possible to sand oxidation off (I don't recommend it to the inexperienced, but it can be done) but once the base coat is involved it's done. The best advice in the 80 section thread was sanding and re-clearing, but not in this case.
