White cloud on black paint
Hi Guys,
I love my Honda and it has been great for the last 6 years. I am guilty of not taking good care of the car though. I noticed a white spot appear on the roof of my car a while back. I thought that it was some salt deposit and did not try to find the cause. Over time it has grown in size and in now in shape of a big white donut ring. I am not sure if it is some problem with the paint or if it is related to not waxing the car for over a year. Can you guys help me understand what it is and how to fix it. Your time is greatly appreciated.... Thanks

Re: White cloud on black paint
your clear is oxidizing... only way to truely fix it is to re-clear it.... although a wet sand and buff will help a ton with it not spreading so fast

Re: White cloud on black paint
Thanks Greenblurr...
So this is more serious than I initially thought... Well I brounght a 2000 grade sand paper and wetsanded it. I then buffed it with "3M Finish Resotorer Professional Formula" which they claim safely removes light oxidation. The mark though much lighter are still there. Probably I need to do it many more times to see a significant improvement. I dont think I can charecterize my oxidation as light... So can you give me pointers on re-clearing.. Is it a DIY procedure or should it be done by a professional body shop? Will I have to re-clear the whole car or can a small area be recleared? Approx how much would it cost?

Re: White cloud on black paint
without paint and body experiance.. DONT do it yourself... pay a shop to... if they cant get it out without breaking through the clear they will also need to repaint it.. no biggie.. what kind of car is this? Cuz i know on my 5th gen coupe the roof is broken up by 2 molding strips so a roof repaint and clear is easy as cake.
