                    I have a 1980 Buick that  is  always  parked  out-
               doors.  I've recently noticed "crazing" of the paint on
               the hood. (looks like little spider webs or  cracks  in
               the paint).

                    Is there any method I can use to restore the  sur-
               face other than having the car repainted?  Would one of
               the 'waxing compounds' help (the kind that  contain  an
               abrasive material) or would this remove too much?

                    What would have caused the problem  in  the  first
               case?  - The usual 'North American Quality'? or perhaps
               wax types.

                    Any help would be appreciated.
