WILL WAXING MY CAR HELP??

Answer 1

That is your clear coat coming off.  It's common with older cars.  The best you can do is have someone redo the clear coat.  If you are brave enough, you can try it yourself, but I don't recommend it.

Answer 2

The clear coat is peeling. The only way to fix it is to have a body shop repaint and clear it again. It will probably have to be stripped . No waxing, rubbing compound or anything will correct this other than repainting the car. You waited to long to stop it. Take it to a body shop and get a quote on the job....................UJN

Answer 3

It sounds like you are having oxidation of the paint, darker color cars especially red show this more than others.

Get some #7 or Turtle wax POLISHING compound its white in color (DO NOT GET RUBBING COMPOUND ITS RED AND VERY STRONG).

You can get these at most places like wal mart or advance auto for about $2-3 a can.

Once you have removed the oxidation you should put on a good coat of wax and you will me amazed how good it will look.

Then depending on the weather and conditions you will want to re wax the car about every 3 months.
