OMG my paint go bye bye

ok something very very weird happened to me today and i dont know how or why it did.

i got up and went to autozone about 10am. it was raining. not very hard but average. i got into autozone and my car looked and seemed fine. when i got home from autozone i turned to look at my car to make sure my headlights both flashed...ya know as a check to see if they both are working. anyways i noticed my front bumper looked white. i ran over to it and it looked like something had eaten away at the paint and left a dull white bumper. so i pulled the car out of the garage to look at it. and i noticed my entire trunk was white. the back bumper and the parts on the door where the GTP emblem use to be was white. .

i took it to a body shop and he said it looks like the guy before me had the car repainted that was 100% sure. but when they did it they only wet sanded a few areas and then they didnt buff it out afterwards they just put a high grease wax on it and when it rained or something from a car in front of me sprayed on my car and took the wax off leaving the scrathces. the guy wanted 900 bucks just to wet sand, buff and wax my car but he couldnt even promise it would work. he wanted 6,700 for a full paint job.

so i tried to rewax the car. it covered up some but not all of the white splotches.


can somone give me like an idea of the steps i should take to refinish the body of the car to bring back the silver. i have a 10" waxer. can i buy sanding pads to put on it....or is there something different i use, is there a certain rubbing compound out there to use...what grit papers do i use ya know someone help me out i dont wanna pay 900 bucks
