Clear Coat EYE SORES

its like every time it rains, i lose more clearcoat.. typically around the trunk area/tops or rear quarter panels, a spot or so on the doors, front hood and fenders still perfect.. and mine is a 99 model.. i have to get the whole thing sanded and repainted now? grrr.. is this normal?

Some colors are worse than others, and some environments are harsher on paints & finishes than others. Generally speaking, although it does happen with some regularity, I wouldn't call it normal.

No way to fix clear coat though. Just has to be removed in reapplied. Regularly washing and waxing helps protect the clear coat.

id say almost half my trunk lid no longer has clear coat on it now.. really frustrating..

I was having the same with my 95, but wasn't surprised. I got about half of it off (all of the hood, trunk lid and 'shoulders' from front to rear) by just spending time with the stream setting on my hose noozle. I am going to borrow my neighbor's pressure washer to see if I can finish it. I really don't want to sand since then I will have to repaint...and my paint is good.
