wetsand and buff.. wetsand - 800 - 1000 - 1500 - 3000 is the method I used followed by compound and sealant.

If you sand too far you'll get through the UV protectant, so be careful.

I think the uv protectant already got blasted off when I pressure washed the car a few times

There's a good chance there is a break in the weatherstripping
