  • How to deal with bubbles forming under clear coat ?

    Sometimes due to prolonged exposure to sunlight or due to a bad paint job, some air bubbles form underneath the clear coat layer

    What's the best technique to deal with those bubbles ??

    I would say wet sanding, following by buffing/polishing/waxing... But I need an expert advice

    Re: How to deal with bubbles forming under clear coat ?

    Are you talking about on a car that was painted years ago or a fresh paint job? If you talking about an older paint job, it is actually probably the beginning of clear coat failure. Do the bubbles go away if you place your finger on them? If so, that is where the clear coat is coming up from the paint surface below it.

    I had a car that I've detailed a couple times for someone and they have that on their car. You certainly don't want to wet sand or buff that. You will likely take the clear coat right off at that point. Just wax and take special care of it until you get it repainted.
