Re: Clear Coat Failure - Re-Paint or Try to Bring it Back (Somewhat)?
If it's actually clear coat FAILURE, you can't bring that back. Base coat is dull, nothing you can do to shine it up. Might as well respray them.

That sure looks like clear coat failure, but you have nothing to lose by trying to buff it up. Work a small spot on the trunk and see what you can do. You may be surprised.

I'm all for trying, if fact I often type/say,
"You don't know what you can do until you try"
But by the looks of the paint in this picture, stick a fork in it it's done.
Adam, I cropped out the above from one of your original pictures and uploaded it into your gallery here on AGO. Photobucket pictures tend to disappear and turn into red x's over time.

Maybe Meg's Glaze by hand might improve the look a bit. If your selling it , maybe just leave it, unless you know a good painter. As for that price, there are a lot of poor painters out there and you may fix the issue only to be left with a new issue (poor color match, orange peel, etc...).

14 year old car, defunct car company, clear coat failure with Chinese tires on it. Good luck.

I think it's time to refinish the affected areas.....

I agree, you might be able to save on cost if you prep the affected areas before hand and bring the parts to the painter....then all they need to do is wipe down with prep-solv and spray... if you want to prep your self just get some 600 grit discs and make it smoothed out would be best to sand all that clear off. good luck
