My daughters 2002 jag has oxidation on the hood, that seemed to go away when I compounded the hood but it always reappears in a couple of days. Do any of you have any ideas of what I should use to get rid of this problem permanently? I used an over the counter product called rubbing compound with hand application and with a Porter-Cable 7424 6" Random-Orbit Polisher Buffer . It looks really good and then in a couple of days the discoloration is back.

Are they FULLY cured before you buff off the sealant and did you wait the sealant to sit-in your paint before you apply the wax? and wht compound have you used?
Sounds wired...cos It should not re-appear if it sealed properly.

Sounds like you took the usual detailing steps to restore the finish on the Jag.
A while back some automotive finishes didn't hold up well over time and the damage was blamed on industrial fallout etc. In one case I recall Ford finally agreeing to issue a recall but don't remember the details.
If your paint wasn't damaged by aggressive rubbing compounds and the fault is with the paint itself you might try a warranty claim (under the corrosion coverage??? ). Even if the car itself is out of warranty in the interest of customer satisfaction Jag might agree to repainting a panel or the whole car .

If its etched into the paint there isn't much you can do but wetsand or compound.

I would probably wash/clay the car, then use a strong compound maybe like Menzerna Power Gloss Compound and a more aggressive pad, I"m going to say either its etched into the clear or you didn't fully break down the compound.
