ok, my car shines just great! but there is a slight haze in the sunlight on the top areas and I think its oxidation. is it worth $75 to get it buffed.. and does it do any damage to the clear coat?

Taking it to a professional detailer might not be a bad idea, have him look it over and evaluate it.

I'd spend $20 or so on a clay bar. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Buffing does not do much to clearcoat, it just takes some of it off to get fine scratches out. I buff and it does a good job. If you only buff your car once in awhile don't even worry about the clearcoat, because my car has been buffed 10 times atleast and it still has a pretty good clear on it.

No haze for me. I would try to wash your car with DAWN dishwashing soap first to see if the haze is wax or oxidation. Then decide claybay or taking it to a proffesional.
