    Whats your bet...can it be fixed??

    What do you say? 1998 model, never been waxed, full life in the Texas sun...always outside(never garaged), drive thru car washes it's entire life, someone tried to buff it last week with no luck.

    maybe with some good wet sanding. That will be a timely and expensive job

      Nick, if you can't do it no one can!

          Of course you can Nick. I doubt that you would have posted this if you could not fix it.

            Looks like time for some wool and 105. I've seen what that combo can do to HAMMERED clear coats (see my "First Rotary Experience" thread). Good luck Nick!

                If you can't, I will. I can't bear to see a car ni that kind of shape.

                    Pretty bad when you can see the buffer swirls under halogen

                      Under that light it looks like clearcoat failure, if so my prognosis is no longer so good. I hope its just some oxidation and the wool clears it up!

                        Is this single staged paint by any chance?

                              I think you are just teasing us Nick, of course it can be fixed with you doing the work.
