peanut butter, wax, or clearcoat.

Or peanut butter, then clearcoat. LOTS of clearcoat.

Yea what dose the peanut butter do???

Peanut butter removes all the oxidation. I **** you not, it works like a champ.

Did it to a friends and put 7 coats of duplicolor clear coat on it and it has yet to fade. It's been glossy black for almost a year now.

Wow, Nice info adam.

spray_bombed

wow Ill have to try that.... ...I have a shitload of peanut butter in my apartment since I have a mouse that Ive been trying to catch for 2 weeks now....

Just spread it on with a rubber mixer and rub it in. Then wipe off with a rag and a lot of pressure.

or can I do it over the clear and if I do will it eat my clear coat??

Peanutbutter DOES work.
Another option would be to do wetsanding with some very fine grit paper (1000+) and then some polishing/wax based compound to buff it out and shine it.
