my clear coat is starting to fade

[A18A]

i noticed a couple spots on my bonnet where the clear coat has started to fade. what's the cheapest possible way i can prevent it from getting any worse?

[Hauntd ca3]

has it gone all milky or worn right through?
if its just milky , you might be able to get away with just a light cutting compound, but if its through the clear the only proper way is to repaint a clear the whole thing.

I'm not too sure, it's not peeling, but it looks... sun burnt? if that makes sense

Pics? I'm guessing its hazy (hay its me!!11) but depending on how badly they are fading, you might be able to buff them up.

ahhaha ill try get some pics, i only noticed it when it's bright and sunny outside, i can't see it atm cause it's overcast. but when it's sunny, i'll get some pix

this is what i mean, it's not as bad as this yet though, but it will end up like it if I don't attend to it soon

I tried buffing mine out, and made it worse. Sad to say, the grey color doesn't look good as salt and pepper :(

my roof also is doing that, im just going to respray mine

i dont really care about the roof, no one sees that. the bonnet on the other hand isnt like that YET. you can just barely notice it in the bright sun light. but i want to slow it down/stop it from getting like that

makes sence, my bonnets rooted now as it has dents from blowing over in the wind twice when i left it outside.

[A18A]

it sucks when that happens. my bumpers suffered a few scratches from leaving it out in the weather to be blown around too

[Hazwan]

Wax her up like once a week lol. That should slow it down for a bit :P

atleast it isnt pealing like my fender haha yeah try buffing it up with a clay bar

Looks like your clearcoat is peeling off. It's nothing a new paint job can't cure though. LOL I'd recommend against using abrasives as those will only remove more of the clear coat. I'm with Hazwan, just keep a thick layer of wax on it and hope for the best.
