The only thing that comes to mind is to see if a pressure washer will remove it. I really don't know of a fix that doesn't involve $$$.

Think it would hurt anything if I scrubbed it a bit with some dawn and one of those green scrubbing pads? Then smack a nice coat of wax over the top....

Try a small spot first, the scrubby pad could very possibly make it worse. If it doesn't then why not? Do consider that it's doubtful the hood will kill the resale value unless it's really bad........it is a 1981 after all. What's a perfect hood gonna bring to the table moneywise?

the fact that the hood won't kill the resale value is the very reason I'm going to attempt it on this car, I know I can't make it worse at this point and even if I do make it a little worse I highly doubt someone wouldn't buy the car because the hood is faded.... I figure I've got an open shot at trying my hand at this without the risk of screwing it up... I'll do some before and after shots on saturday and post them....we'll see what happens!

I did some "preliminary" tests last night with my fingernail and found out that it's loose enough in spots to flake off with very little pressure which is what got me thinking about the pad.... I'm going to try dawn dish soap and one of those green "scrub" pads on one part and then the same scrub pad with some comet (that's gotta be pretty close to a very high grit sand paper) and see what happens.... If I screw it up at least we'll know what not to do....
Any other thoughts on things to try?

How bad is it? Are you talking like a Huuuge area or a few small spots?
On my car, Ive noticed the clear coats coming off, most likely from rock chips. So I bought one of those touch up paints in a glass bottle from Wal-Mart, except it is clear coat. So when I apply it, it gets rid of that white and looks pretty good! Ecspecially if you get it to be flush w/ the surface.
Hmmm. I oughta try that on my car. I have one pretty good spot on the left rear fender that the clear coat has peeled off, and some hazy oxidation spots on the top of the car and the trunk lid.
