Paint issue on the hood and clearcoat peeling on rear bumper

I just bought a 2011 Mini Cooper S hardtop and couldn't be happier with my purchase. It's such a fun car to drive. There's a couple of paint issue that I would like to see if anyone here can help me with.
  • Paint issue on hood
  • Clearcoat peeling on rear bumper

I have attached some pictures. Any help is much appreciated.


Thanks.

rear ... it is typical for a respray clear to peel after about 5 years .....

front - looks like something got spilled ... maybe brake fluid which will eat thru paint ....

in both cases you have two options

repaint or live with it .... no qwik t/up is gonna help either

the rear will probably continue to grow over time but will probably stay confined to the bumper cover.
