    suggestions for repairing my paint. Photo E63 650i

    See attached photo. pretty much the whole left side of my car has a stripe of sun damage on the top side. What is the best route for repairing this? Preferably with lasting results. Thanks

    That's probably going to need to be polished. Maybe wet sanded first. If you're not experienced in paint restoration, I would highly recommend against doing that type of repair yourself. You stand a good chance of doing more harm than good.

    Ill try giving it a good polish and see how that turns out. If that doesn't clear it up I will see if I can find someone who is experienced in paint repair to take a look at it.

    That's a failing clearcoat, you need to have that panel resprayed. No buffing would solve this.
