Roof Paint Fade

So looks like the roof paint on my Tundra is fading.

Typically I hit the Touch less wash every other week and get the Wax Deluxe whatever.

What do I need to do to start correcting or slowing? It's an outdoor truck.




Rest of it is super glossy.

I personally would wash it, clay bar, then go to work with a moderate cutting pad and compound. Then go from there.

Im no expert with paints but would look into clearing it.

You're not fixing that, Clear is gone, needs paint. My 04 did the same.

You ever think about just getting it wrapped?

Unfortunately, it's done. As stated above, that's clear failure. It's just going to get worse. You could polish it, wax/seal it, it'll look better temporality, but it's going to continue to degrade.

Sorry!

Spraymax 2k $24 on Amazon. Then wet sand and buff. Won't be perfect but it will definitely look better. Here is a set of 2008 crown vic headlights I did with the stuff before buffing. We know how yellow these get.

The car wash rainbow spooge won't provide long term UV protection.

If I were in your shoes, I would claybar, compound, polish, then ceramic coat it. It should keep it from getting any worse for a while. Just make sure you keep up on it or it'll all fade out again and keep getting worse.

When I had my old black Marauder ceramic coated it kept the roof in check for about 2 1/2 years, once the coating was noticeably gone the roof started to get more paint issues (notorious problem on those cars).

Get it painted.

I had my 19 Tacoma ceramic coated when I bought it and my dumb ass ran it thru a speedway Carwash during a chicago winter and sure as shit it removed the coating away I had zero beeding of water just a flat sheet of water lol them chemicals are harsh on the paint. Only good thing is my porter did the work and all he wanted was a half a slab of portillos ribs for lunch it took him a few hours and it didn’t cost me anything so I wasn’t bothered. Never again no matter what no gas station touchless carwash.

I would do this exactly this and after every Carwash I would spray ceramic coat the roof to protect it from getting worse.
