Is this oxidation? Pic inside....

This is on the rear bumper of my friend's 1997 Mustang Cobra. Is this oxidation? Can it be buffed out? If so, what will it take?



TIA

Unfortunately, it looks like clearcoat failure.

I would have to agree with TnM6i, that looks like clear coat failure.

In this case, the third time is not a charm. Your clearcoat has failed.

So what can be done to help that out? My bros jeep has the same thing. Can it be polished out somehow and protected via wax or sealant?

Nothing you can do except have it repainted.

yeah thats clearcoat failure this is oxidation

The hood and roof of my old Jeep Cherokee was covered in that. Your only option is a repaint. It's only going to get worse.

From the pic, the white flaking is clear cote failure, but it does also look like the car is oxidize by the surrounding area's

With compounding it can be made to look better, but its just going to be worse. i just did a Mercury Sable with clearcoat failure on the rear bumper and it looked 80% better after compounding, but it was silver.
