    Sounds like it needs claying, then treating with cleaner fluid then lastley a good couple of coats of Pure Brazilian Carnauba wax.

    This happened to the rear of my previous Audi TT I had. In fact claying didn't really do anything and it was the medium cleaner fluid that got it looking tip top again.

    Maybe it's getting sand blasted a bit with road debris?

    One of the advantages of the clear bra.
