Paint Issue
 

This is my 1986 C4 hood. Over the last year, I have started seeing what looks like water stains on the hood. I've tried to hand compound them out with Maguires ultimate compound. I've tried claying the hood. Nothing seems to take these marks our and the two circular ones just showed up this week. It's covered whenever not being driven by 2 car covers.

It's a survivor and has never been repainted. Any recommendations short of a respray?

There has to be some suggestions from this knowledgeable group.

cant tell much from the picture but it looks like the clear coat is damaged/fading.

looks like the clear coat is coming or getting ready to.

Every winter I cover my toy cars and have that milky colored residue on my cars. However, it's on the glass also. I wax my glass when waxing the car and have always suspected it was the wax outgassing.

If you post this in the paint/body section you might get better results. Several very knowledgeable body shop guys are regulars on that forum.

It's moisture getting in between the car and the cover. My gar is garaged so I do not have this problem, however... earlier this year I had just washed the car and dried it with my large microfiber towel. For some reason I draped the towel over the drivers side mirror and forgot about it until the next day. The clear coat on the mirror got all milky white and spotty. Luckily it aired dried after a day or so and returned to normal.

If yours has been there for a while I would do a lot of research on the subject. I'm sure Meguiar's forums and such have a lot of experience with this. I'm confident you do not need a repaint!
