Since I have run out of garages to house all our cars the poor old 1993 VR Commodore (sedan) has to be left outside to fight off the Sun, the Rain and other so I decided 18 -20 months ago to buy a car cover from Supercheap Auto to cover the car but lately I have noticed issue with the car paint (Heron White) or the White colours that series of the car.
Now after having a close look mainly the Bonnet, worst effected followed by the roof then the boot but the boot is not as bad as the roof and the bonnet (Both sides are OK) so I have noticed a issue with the paint as the paint has like crows feet or better still the cross hatch the pattern of what the car cover is from. Now I got my SCA Cut and Polish out + Plus Turtle Wax out so I cut/polished a testing area (eg 4 inch square on the roof) cut it, polished it, cleaned it, Turtle Wax it but still the same. After this I got some 800 grain Wet and Dry (used water) and I rub it for 15-20 seconds, let it dry then used SCA Cut and Polish and wiped it off and its only about 20% better so What Gives, does Car Covers Destroy your paint. Can I fix the Old paint, the Original paint from when the car was new back in 1993.
Any Info about this is Appreciated.
