`98 Camry roof - advice please

[VroomVroom]

Hey Folks,



Here`s the challenge - by far the worst I`ve encountered, so I`m hoping for some tips from those that have been-there-done-that. Pics are from the owner - I haven`t seen the car in-person yet.

The goal is to improve the finish as much as possible and to avoid a repaint as long as possible. I`m grateful in advance for your thoughts.

You could compound, polish, and wax to make it a little better, but it`s gonna get pretty dull again pretty quick w/o any clear.
