Mine does it too, get some turtle wax polish. There is red black and blue, get the black bottle. Get a wax like applicator, and rub it a bit. Makes it look alot better in my opion.

wash 3x, clay for about 4 hours. Wash, Rubbing compound, 3M Machine Polish, glaze, Liquid glass (polis, let it sit for a few hours for it to cure) seal, then wax 2x. That should do the trick. Use a DA buffer* Take your time. This should be a all day process, but well worth it. Turtle wax isnt worth the money (it useto be). If you use megliars, only use the professional line.

I had some light oxidation on my 04. I used Mother's Cleaner Wax, and it took it off great. But that was light oxidation and pollution. It was a bluish film that came off. I was amazed at how much better it looks.

pretty much fadding paint. A thin layer of the clear is "getting worn". When buffed, fresh clear is revealed. Use a paint meter before buffing*
