ausubaru92 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 The paint on the roof is developing white patches (my wagon is Burgandy, i think) it seems to get worse after its been in hot sun all day. i can scratch it with my fingernails and pink-ish dust comes off What causes this and how is it fixed? I also have a few small surface rust spots (from rock chips i assume) that i wanna fix before they get to drastic, whats the best way to do it? What is the name of my paint colour? how can i find it? (actual name, not number) Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahag1978 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 What you see is oxidization of the paint. Get some mild rubbing compound and begin polishing lightly BY HAND. Do a small area and keep checking the progress by wiping it down with a dry rag. Once you get down to good paint !STOP! you can get down to primer real fast. Rinse it thoroughly to get rid of the grit and then apply a good wax with UV protection in it. Be sure to keep a good coat of wax on it in the future and it should solve the problem. Good luck!
