Has anyone experienced this and in what area ?

There was a mention on another non-related thread.

I thought I would start and dedicate this this subject.

Would love some tips on how to do.

Searched the internet...and found a FEW that were pretty good....MOST were junk !!!!

I have a few areas ......drivers side lamp area....... door handles( concave area)

Hood...near the wipers..about the size of a small summer squash.

I just sprayed the areas with some topcoat so it wouldn't peel any further.

Its winter up here in MA....and we had a day last week that was near 60 !!!

VERY rare !!!!

Will do the job right in the Spring when weather is warmer !!!!

 

What is your detailing schedule like?

Which color do you have?
Wash it often?
When do you wax it and with what? Any machine polishing done?
All OEM paint?

I dont have a fix, besides repainting, but I am more curious about the how and why lol

 

I keep my cars in excellent condition inside and out.

I believe its because of a cheap paint job.

The interior is in excellent condition and no leaks, which for me is the most important.

 

Ah, well then it likely wont stop. Any repair would probably be met with new spots flaking. You will likely need to respray it all or at least what was repainted before

 

I had peeling clear where the car was repaired several years ago. I have had to have other cars repaired and haven't had this problem before. I think it's because in MD they have to use water based color and at that time it was pretty new. I'm currently having the car totally repainted in PA where they can still use polyurethane color and clear.

 

I believe we also have poly here in MA!!

If not...NH is only an hour away...........

Thanks for all the replies.....

 

Have done some body repair and repainting

5 years is not an unusual life span for the clear on a repaint, water or petroleum based ....

unless the prep and conditions are 'perfect' when the clear is laid down, delamination is far from uncommon ..... this why I sometimes suggest 'living with' a small blemish as the repair may be worse in the long run ....

 

CooperMike, where in MA are you?

 

20 minutes north of Boston

Essex county..

Where are you located ?

 

I'm just outside of Worcester.

 

Plus 1 ^ capt_bj !!!!!!!!

I removed the loose peeling on the hood and sprayed with clearcoat.

Doesn't really look that bad. From a short distance .....can't even tell

Thanks again for all the replies !!

much appreciated !!
