Curious what you all think. It’s been a constant battle polishing my hood for the year I’ve owned this car. I’ve polished it 2-3 times, never looks right and the oxidation returns within days.

There’s a little bit of clear coat missing by the passenger headlight that’ll need to be fixed eventually, but the whole hood just looks really bad from certain angles when it’s dry. Looks good as hell when it rains though.

I’ve washed, clay barred, and polished. Just all the basic stuff. There’s a bit of residue from my roommate’s last polish attempt but no matter what I do it just looks clapped even without residue. This is the last thing I need to do for it to actually look nice.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
