Why does the paint on the roof of my car feel rougher than the rest of the car even after wash and wax?

im assuming the paint is probably oxidized


or, could possibly the contaniments that are stuck to your paint





if you wanna fix it, heres what you do





clay your car first- after you wash your car


(meguiars clay kit)


this removes all the crap thats stuck onto the paint, that normal washing wont get off, do it all over your car





and if its still rough, then the paint is probably oxidized


pick up some meguiars ultimate compound, and swirlx


and a long with microfiber towels+applicator pads


try using the swirlx first, its less aggressive, work it into a 16x16 in section, for 30-60 seconds, wipe off, inspect


if still bad, repeat


if its still bad after that, try using ultimate compound, same thing


then after you get it good, use the swirlx after that, it can take a while, especially if doing your whole car with that





then wax car again, cause the claying/swirlx will remove all the wax you put on there


and waxing doesnt make your paint smooth, waxing only puts a coat of wax on your car, doesnt remove anything





any more questions, email





again, its hard to say weather you just need a clay bar, or the paint is oxidized, wihtout seeing it or a pic


but im assuming its oxidized, cause the roof/trunk/hood are the most common places for it cause its where the sun hits itWhy does the paint on the roof of my car feel rougher than the rest of the car even after wash and wax?
The three main areas, that get the worst, of the paint problems, are the roof, hood, and, the trunk lid. The sun, hits these three spots, like with twice the heat, oxidizing the car's paint finish, to a very dull appearence. There are, many products, out there, claiming, to be able to remove the dull, dead paint, and, leaving behined, a luster, and, a shine. But, not all these products, do, exactly, what they say they will. If you are really serious, about detailing your car, go to your local automotive shop, and, ask them, what the best coarse of action, would be, to take. Cause, you can, actually ruin your car's paint finish, if things don't go right. Pushing too hard, with the power buffer, can actually remove the paint, from the car. So, ask the pros... They can give you, some solid advice, as to what you should do.
