Sounds like your clearcoat is toast.

When will you people learn that MAACO SUCKS!!! Geez, of course your paints going to fade after one year because maaco doesnt use the best chemicals in their paint. Comparing Maaco's paint to a respectable body shop paint is like comparing watered down soda to actual soda.
You get what you pay for.

When you get it, split the bar in half, and save the other half for later. Then knee(sp?) it like dough for a while. Then use the lube and spray an area of your car and run the clay bar over. I would first touch the area to see how it feels like and then run the clay bar over it, it should be smooth as glass. Whatever you do, don't use it on dry surfaces because it might cause microscopic scratches. If you ever run outta of the lube, you can use some car soap mixed with water or some of that quick detailer spray. Good Luck.
