Would wet sanding fix it? At this point Ill spend the money to have it done professionally, but I just want to know if its something that can be cleaned or if its too far gone.

I dont believe so, the door isnt doing it, its only the top half of the fender in the front and the bottm half of the rear, its like its got a point where it starts fading.

Sorry to hear this, it could be a few combinations of things happing to it. Fall out from the past, it was repainted in the dealers yard ( I see it all the time at my local Lexus dealer back lot ) Maybe try a compound to see or see a good paint shop or shops to see what they would say.

Initially I was going to also recommend a clay bar....but as I expected, looking at the pics, the yellowing is very panel specific. If it was really road contamination, the yellowing would be all throughout the car, but it seems to be pinpointed on the panels you posted.
The BEST you can do now, is still try to clay the whole car and at least do a 2 step paint correction hitting it with an aggressive compound and doing a polish. If it doesn't help, then you have a bigger problem that is beyond what a detail can do for your car.
