Default Can this be fixed? Pics inside

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the forums and I've already learned a lot from just my introduction post. Thanks again for the warm welcome. Here's my problem:

I'm going to be getting my first polisher soon (most likely a Flex) and I wanted to know if it would be possible to fix this problem. I've attached a few photos to show what the problem is mainly because I don't know how to describe it. The car IS black but it seems like the paint is hazing over on the left side. I don't know the first thing about paint jobs or what makes this happen so if there are any articles I should read or if you guys could enlighten me I would appreciate it. I know, i'm a big noob but I learn fast and don't mind hard work as long as I can see the end result.

Anyways, enough babbling. On to the photos!

Driver Side Door
Rear Passenger Side
Full left side
Full left side 2

Sorry, the car is dirty but even if I wash it that "hazing" is still there.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info guys. I was told Menzerna is a good choice for polishing jobs. I'm on their site now, but there are so many different kinds? Is there something that I can use for more than one type of application? ie. not just on this car but as a general use polish?
