My wife's car has developed a paint haze that seems to be spreading. I'm guessing the clear coat is getting delaminated or something, probably because she only washes her few a few times a year at the auto car washes and never waxes/seals the car (except for what the auto places put on).

Can this be repaired with something at Kragen?

Or recommendations for South Bay paint shops that can fix this?

 

I would be interested too. My spoiler has some haze on it as well. I am afraid that the clear is all the way gone tho.

 

I'm no paint expert, but do a lot of research on detailing. Mostly likely the clear coat is gone and would have to sand it down to metal, repaint and clear coat. Paint is like our skin, porous.

To prevent this from happening, wash the car once a week or 2 weeks. Wax it every 3 months or so depending on the product you are using and seal the car once a year.

For a shop, I'm not sure because I live in central valley but used to live over there for a few years. But some on here would probably know more.

 

Sounds like the clear coat is shot since you said it's spreading. If that's the case it would require a repaint.

Long shot, but have you tried a clay bar to make sure it's not just a contaminant?

 

Wash every 2 weeks huh....I wash mine like once a month hahah

 

You watch AMMO NYC on Youtube, don't you?

 

No, Chemical Guys haha

 

You guys should post pictures.

 

+1.

 

Pictures. Other than that, any suggestion would only be guessing or blind assumptions.

If it is on a horizontal surface, it may be clear coat deterioration due to direct UV ray exposure, but that would be the worst case. Some conditions are still salvageable when you try. Key is to get to it early on rather than putting it off.

 

will get pics later
