[bnpimpn]

my car seams to have lost the shine it used to have. I waxed it once when i bought it and it stayed shiney for like 6 months. Now i can wax it and it last a few days, also the rag seams to turn red when i wax my body and black when i wax my roof, almost like its removing my paint???? is there anything i can do to get my shine back without spending alot of cash????

Sounds like the clearcoat's gone. Once it is, there's not much that can be done, so far as I know. Keep it waxed, I guess.

If your clear coat was coming of you would have white peel edges where ever it's lifting off. It probably means someone has repainted your car before and used a cheap single stage paint. This means there is clear in the base color and not a protective coating of just clear on the out side.
If it is single stage paint you need to have someone detail your car with a buffer. And not just a Wal-Mart buffer. You'll need a high speed buffer used at body shops.
To see if a buff job will help, just go to a auto parts store and buy a bottle of rubbing compound. Put it on a rag and rub it in circles on your car really good. It should brighten up.
