My friend has a 01 fiesta. he got wax which says don't use on oxidised paint. What is oxidised paint? How to kinow if his car has it? The paint is quite good little rust in places not much

Oxidized paint to me anyways, would normally be the outer coat is faded or perished, turning a white type colour. Red is very good and common example of oxidized paint. If you google images of "oxidized car paint" you will get an idea.

This exactly.

The main remedy is to get the paint polished by a detailer. Here's a few pictures of a Peugeot I did a while ago:







This whole panel was the same type of faded blue:

You didn't even say that you had oxidised paint on this fiesta.

I was showing you the difference between oxidised paint and normal paint.
