Hi All:

Have a 245 with metallic grey paint that is heavily oxidized. I saw a thread on here recently (which I can't find tonight) where a guy buffed and waxed his red 245 and was able to restore the paint. It was quite impressive.

I think that my situation might not be so easy to fix - at least not without respraying the car. I have white splotches on the hood and roof that are getting bigger - I assume (but do not know for sure) that this is the clearcoat peeling off, and the white is the primer underneath.

Is there anything that I can do to clean this mess up short of repainting the car?

Thanks
-JM
