Default How to sort out ageing paint work

Hi.
As to expected my 20 year old Rovers paintwork is showing signs of age.
More specifically the top clear coat. Its not peeling away or looking mottled but when the sun shines brightly (what's that i hear you say) the whole roof and bonnet appear to have lots of very fine light scratches. It almost looks like something you would expect if you where to clean your car with a green scourer. It's not particularly bad and when it's overcast its completely invisible to see.
I've tried various different ways to tackle it without any success. Auto Glym, T Cut seem to help but after a few days its back again. Before I go out wasting money on anything else would you have any suggestions in remedying it once and for all. In an ideal world i obviously just get it repainted but money is always tight nowadays.
It the worst comes to the worst i even considering vynl wrapping the roof in a conservative colour such as black.
I think it would look reasonably good against the Zircon silver (each to there own i understand).
Anyway thanks for taking the time to read and all answers are greatly appreciated,
Johnny 👍
