Examples of clearcoat failure and an explanation of possible causes
Re: Examples of clearcoat failure and an explanation of possible causes
So from reading Newport Viper's post, it sounds like the best way to avoid (or atleast put off till far in the future) clear coat failure is:
1) Wash the paint frequently (weekly if possible) and clay often (few times a year) to remove contaminents (acid rain deposits and other) in a timely fashion.
2) Take it easy when compounding paint marring out. You only have so much clear that can safely be removed. Always use least aggressive method.
3) Always keep a fresh, protective layer of LSP on your paint.
That's a pretty good general summary list of things you can pro-actively do.
Other things would include parking under some kind of cover or in a garage whenever it's possible. When you do wash your car don't use a detergent soap.

Here is a follow up by another Viper Club member....interesting read.
Tom, I worked for PPG (Resins and Coatings Division, Automotive OEM and Refinish) for 16 years, starting out as a chemist and ending up in sales..........
So from chemist your promotion is to sales???
Is that like a pilot being "promoted" to flight attendant?
