i was in a parking lot talking to my friend about my hood and roof cause it is all messed up. i dont know if the clear coat is defected or it has seriously oxidized. but anyways, a man that was parked next to me walked by and said i should try a rubbing compound. do you guys know what he is talking about?

Yeah, rubbing compound is exactly what you should look for when you go to the store. The stuff is like a REALLY fine "liquid sandpaper". It has an abrasive feeling to it. The stuff kinda polishes out haze and really light scratches. Somebody else might be able to offer a more indepth description.~Chris<br />1999 Hugger Orange Camaro<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/273836\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/273836</a> <br /><br />†…faith…hope -

there are different compounds for different paint problems. a picture might help... dont just go to the store and buy any old bottle and start rubbing. youll probably just make it worse. the 3m stuff is good, but they make multiple types and you will need the right stuff.Comment

With rubbing compound you can take the paint off, be careful.2005 Cavalier LS Sport M5<br /> <a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/firefighter8615</a>Comment

If you check out autopia.org, they have a reviews section on different things to use on your car, as well as the forum for you to see what product people used with similar products. Wouldn't a scratch remover product help fill in those spots some too on the car?AIM: Alientr8tr<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/583450\" target=\"_blank\">1998 Camaro 3.8L</a><br />Flowmaster 80-series, !FRA, Eibach Springs, KYB AGX, SLP sway bars, 3.42/LSD, Wings West kit, Z06 Motorsports, Silverstone Metallic paint<br /><a href=\"http://www.shift5.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Shift 5</a> - My BandComment

Rubing compound first to remove oxidation, the paint will look dull after this. Then polishing compound to bring back shine. Then 3M Imperial hand glaze for that new paint look.

i had some bad spots on my rear bumper so i used rubbing coumpound on it, it got rid of the spots but it left my bumper looking real dull at some angles. Never the less it looks better than it did before though. but i would be careful before i just went rubbing it in the middle of my hood or something.1997 Camaro<br />17x9 Chrome SS wheels, SLP CAI, Magnaflow Catback,<br />High Flow Cat, Blacked out Lights, 20% tint, AUDIO: 1600W Kenwood eXcelon Amp, 12\" Kicker L7, 1 Farad Cap (Recently STOLEN),<br />H&R Springs and KYB AGX\'s,<br />Billet GrilleComment
