  • Is this oxidation or clear coat failure?

    Hi all,

    Trying to sell an old beater. This was my first car so it's got some sentimental value to me and I want it to look as nice as possible when it goes to a new home. Car is a 01 Civic - one of the many purple cars during that time period

    Problem is, there is a huge paint defect across the hood and some on the roof of the car. I thought it was oxidation, but after attending the Meguiar's detailing class, I have a feeling it might be a case of clear coat failure.

    Bottom line - is there a remedy for this, other than a whole new clear coat and/or paint job? If it's something that I can DIY, I'm happy to do so!

    Thanks everyone!

      Unfortunately, that isn't a pattern that could easily be hidden by sanding smooth and adding graphics.
