Default Help oxidation!!!!

Hey guys, i noticed since i have ownwd my car that this foggy haze has been getting worse this past year, i dont know if i should have it get resprayed with clear coat, " which i want to avoid" or take it to a body shop and have it wetsanded, i just want my car to look brand new again so when i see it it has a mirror like glossy finish. Or if you guys have any ideas on how i can take care of this without taking it to a shop, i will post pictures if neccesary, i would also note that it is a black car

first thing have u tried to claybar your car. Alot of times that really helps out the paint. Then give it a good wax. At least thats what i would do before even talking to a body guy $$$$$$! post up some pics

I did what you said about the clay bars. I got the blue kind. I clay barred the car then used a compound with my orbital but the ox was still kinda there so i did it over like 3 times. I finished it with a hi tek carnuba wax and wow, what a difference, i cant even tell i had ant ox on my car, should i continue to wax my car once a week to prevent any ox from coming back? I just dont want my 3 hours of hard work to go in vain. Im on my iphone so i will post pics of the before and after once i get to my pc. Its a huge difference, thank you
