What exactly cuases the hazing/oxidation I have seen on my black Mustang GT? Was it factory overspray? Can it be caused by an automatic car wash?

Yeah I know, supposed to do it all by hand. Well I do at least do the waxing/buffing (McGuires Gold Class) and constantly keep it nice between washes (every weekend) with McGuires detail spray and a California Duster. The white/greyish oxidation/haze areas are only visible during direct sunlight and under other lighting conditions. The paint is a bit rougher around them.

As per the posts I read on the Mustang boards I took a Mother's Clay Bar to it today. That certainly works to clean the haze areas up but was/is alot of work and doesn't do as good a job as I would have thought after reading the posts. Next I tried KIT Scratch Out Scratch & Haze Remover. This is one awesome, awesome product. Apply it as you would a wax, buff it off - no real effort is needed, and haze/oxidation areas are gone with the paint looking beautifull as it should. I cleaned up the hazey areas with that today then used the orbital buffer to apply another coat of Gold Class and buff it - she's looking sharp now. Though that black mirror wet wax look actually works like a wet wax, every darn dust particle within 100 miles is automatically drawn to the car! Grrrr.... Black is beautifull but a pain in the hiney.
