Time to wash the Subaru for the first time in about 4 years.

 
Actually, it was more the first car wash in 7 years.  It didn't work
well.  When I wiped off the soap, the car was left with a white (clear
coat oxides) and brown (7 years of pollen) on all the painted
surfaces.  Household cleaners removed the pollen but not the oxides. I
had to stop when the night insects and mosquitoes started to attack.
I'll see what alcohol can do later today.  If that works, Meguiar's
Cleaning Wax to follow.  I'll announce the results on Tues and the
next few days are a mixture of paying work, charity work, home repair
and damage control.

Tips for cloudy clear coat:

Thanks.  I'm not sure what I'm dealing with, but clear coat is the
likely culprit.  Every scratch in the paint is now oxide white and
fairly difficult to remove.  It looks much like the oxidized coating
on my plastic headlight covers.  I may have made it worse by using an
old dish rag that may have been full of abrasive dust, metal shavings
and rust which scratched the paint.  I washed the rag before using it,
but probably not sufficiently.  It will be a week or three before I
have time to work on it because the list of deferred auto maintenance
is now huge and growing. 

Thanks again for the URL.
