Has anyone found a product that can make black paint that has been oxidized to a grey haze, black again?

I have a 2000 Ford Expedition and the area on the hood over the engine compartment is particularly oxidized...without actually repainting the vehicle, is there a product that can make it black again? I had the truck completely detailed at a car wash a few months ago, and nothing they used covered the oxidation....any ideas, new products?

    Parts stores and probably Walmart have a product called Color Back. It will revitalize the color, but nothing will truly bring it back. The pigments have changed in the paint.

    That detail shop either doesn't know what they're doing or the clear coat on the hood has pealed away.

    Take it to a reputable body shop and get a quote. If nothing else they can wet-sand the hood then polish it to a gloss again. Or, it may have to be repainted. They'll be able to tell you.
