I can't see the picture real well. It looks like you may have some clear coat failure starting, but again I really can't see the picture very well.

I️ can’t make your photos out When taking photos, do a 3 foot away to give context to then a few others.

If that is the trunk, looks like the clear is gone. Again, hard to tell from the pic.

I️ typically pair speed with an Orange pad...

Grand Prix’s are known to have clear coat failure in those areas. This looks like clear coat failure.

You gotta admit, that made a huge difference! Lol. If I had a beater I'd try it. [emoji2]

Valid point, the car definitely wasn't a thing of beauty. I'm sure that was was discovered by accident. I'll subscribe and check him out. Entertaining if nothing else lol
