Subaru Outback, 2008 H6. Brown Metallic

[4BKT VET]

I see lot's of Subaru's where the clear has given up. Is this because it is so thin? If so, what is a safe approach on my son's Outback. The door jams show much more dpeth and metallic than the outside of the car. I suspect the light isn't getting through the clear coat, but since we haven't hit the car with anything, thought I would ask first.

Welcome!

 

Has the clear coat started to fail, or are you just not seeing shine that you'd like? What do you use now, if anything, to protect it? Is it usually kep outside or in?

Only fail on CC so far are portions of the door handles. Car lives outdoors year round, snows during the winter and 90-100 degrees during the summer. Used Mothers M-tech (OK), mothers cleaner wax (OK), Meguiars clay (pretty good) and Adams clay (better). I'm thinking the clear has a haze / milky look I think is oxidation. I don't need it to win car shows, but would like to see the color better. As I said, the light is getting blocked, so the color isn't as good as protected areas like the door jambs.
