<<I stopped by a detailing place and they said for about $150 they could compound and polish it up for me. He said it would look better, but not like brand new (no surprise)>>
If your car cannot be buffed back, Your car must have been repainted or you park under a leaky acid vat.
Subaru base/clear is pretty tough compared to domestic paint treatments. Even with years of neglect, it should be able to be brought back to new. I'd take it to a body shop for a buff. The compounds they use are a lot stronger, but they usually are better skilled and won't burn through on the edges.
I always recommend any finish related work be done by a shop that specializes in restoring cars. They are worth the higher labor rates.
