Ok, gang... I bought this car new in 2008. It has only been hand washed and only had Adams products on it. It is a daily driver so it is outside. I only have 29000 miles on it and have maintained the paint at a high level. I am not a new comer to detailing or auto body work. I have been in the auto repair business for 37 years ect ect. Now that I have validated that I am not a noob:lol: here is my problem. I think my car is turning pink... it is the red jewel color used on GM's it is a Saturn Aura XR. I have included two pictures. The 2nd day I owned the car I pulled off the crappy tape pinstripes and had stripping painted on. The first picture shows where the original stripes were and how where they were is now showing because the paint around them has faded...????? Weird. The second picture is what I noticed today, it looked like tire spray or oil splattered on the fender. But in fact it was were water has beaded then dried and left these same brighter looking areas. I am dumbfounded as to what is causing this. My wife doesn't even notice a difference and says I am crazy. This is true, but something is going on here. Any Ideas?
