Get a paint job......

once it's started, there's not much you can do.

about all you can do otherwise is to carefully use a razorblade flat against the paint to remove any that's peeling up, then scuff-sand the area and spray it with some clear- enough to 'glue down' the peeling edges and seal it off to help it keep from separating.

If that doesn't work, then you get to repaint your car. :\

You could try to use clear fingernail polish to seal the ends of the peeling paint. But other than that, you can't really stop it. It's probably from a poorly done repaint and either the surface wasn't prepped or the base and/or clear is failing.

Could you wetsand off as much of the CC as you can, and the hit it with some new?

Not without screwing up the metallic base coat (if that's the case) under it. Plus if the base and/or clear is failing it will just peel somewhere else.

I agree. Once the peeling starts there is not much that can be done. I have the same problem with my maxima, with the CC peeling off on the hood. Get a paint job if it bothers you too much, or else, do what I do, ignore it and enjoy the ride.

It has just started a little nickel sized spot on the hood and I thought I should handle now before it gets out of hand! This is the only spot the clear coat is peeling and I wax regurly and I have clayed the car (it has good paint) what did i do wrong this is the worst thing(clear coat peeling)that i hoped detailing and waxing and cleaning the paint would prevent ! I will try razor to cut the peeled clear coat then buy some clear lacqer to cover it Any great clear coats in a rattle can ??

Thanks Guys
