Hey, everyone,
I recently noticed that the clear coat on the back trunk edge of my wife's 2014 Honda Accord is degrading or oxidizing (see pic below). Her car is parked outside 24/7 and is exposed to lots of bright sunlight throughout the year.
I could use some help/advice with two questions:
1) Can I restore the clearcoat using Optimum Clear Coat Restorer or a similar product myself? Any guess as to whether or not the Optimum CCR would be effective in this situation?
2) If I take it to a bodyshop, can they just spray some clearcoat on top of it, or would they have to strip away the old paint and repaint the area?
3) What can I do to minimize any further damage to the clearcoat? Her car has a ceramic-infused spray sealant as its main form of protection which I apply once every 3 months. I also apply Meguiars D156 as a drying aid and maintenance spray between applications of the sealant.
Thanks for your help,
