I noticed when I am waxing my car lately it seems rough in some spots like maybe the clear coat is gone or something and it does not get as shiney in these spots, WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THIS

 

I have a 2002 wrx pearl blue

 

try some clay bar and some polish.

 

no no...if clear coat is really gone this is a bad bad idea because clay bar and polish (especially polish) will start removing paint. your warranty will cover it if the clear coat is coming off, take your car to a professional or back to the dealership.

 

first of all identify what the rough spots are. are they black spots(some may be rusty) embedded in the paint? if so you may have fall-out(depending where u live)-hence not being covered under warranty,(removeable by claybar). but if the body is rusting through the paint then there is warranty coverage.(depending on yr of course)

is the paint fading in patches? is the clearcoat peeling? bottom line. . .subaru paint is not the best.. . in fact most automotive manufacturers paint is not the best quality. they try to get by with what will last the "ideal" life of the car.---a little strategy to make a profit.---

 

well I dont see any rust, but the area's that are rough feel sandpaper like when I am waxing them, and the wax does not make it feel smooth, and they also dont shine quite as nice as the rest of the car, all of them are on the upper part of the car like the upper part of the door and the back sidepanel and also the top and back of the trunk........ I noticed this was happening a few months ago to my trunk so I just waxed the hell out of it all the time but now its spreading to other parts of my car and I am getitng scared that something is wrong with my paint/ its just really rough patches

 

if it looks like haze, try the claybar. but ask fanker, he details cars quite nicely.

 

I asked subaru about it and they think its over spray, and are going to check it when I pick up my morrettes and scoop they are still getting after my accident if not I will try that clay bar, what is a clay bar?
