    Save my clearcoat?

    Simple question here, is there anyway to save or rebuild my clearcoat? I can tell it has broken down more over the past year looking over the hood when I drive around. Will a good wax job keep me from losing anymore?

    i think that once it starts to break down you are outta luck. it will peel and such. i would hit the areas where it is starting w/ a fine grit sandpaper, and take it to get cleared

      is the clear actually peeling or does it have acid rain damage?..........if it the second, you can wet sand with 1000 grit paper and buff it with compound

        I'd try detailing clay first: www.autopia-carcare.com/inf-clay.html My paint on the hood, roof and trunk is BURNT so Im going w/ high grit wetsand paper in prep for RACING STRIPES (cheaper than paint, easy to do).

          makes me wonder if I should try the clay bar to get the imperfections out of my paint maybe improve my failure at touch up LOL.
