Does waxing improve the appearance of peeling clearcoat & paint? - Toyota Yaris Forums

i can tell you right now that short of wetsanding your not going to get the effect your after, heck, youd likely be better off just doing a vynle wrap of the roof in black?

as far as a tent goes, ive done tent paint jobs best setup hands down is pvc pipes, duct tape, clear plastic, a pair of furnace filters and a box fan....i painted a shortbus this way among other projects

no amount of snake oil will deal with those "white patches" as thats clear coat thats no longer stuck to the body, and just hasnt lifted enough, now if you can get all those to lift off be it with a presurewasher or sanding is your call, me id blast it with a presurewasher and remove as much of it as i can and then re-evaluate what youve got

assuming you can get those gone id rub the majority of the roof down with 600-800grit then do a rub n buff and youll be golden
