Re: HELP!!!! Clearcoar failure or oxidation
Mike is going to have the best opinion but those Hondas are pretty notorious for clearcoat failure on the upper surfaces. What state are you in (wondering how strong the sun is where you are)?
On the plus side if you have corrected the trunk perhaps you'll be able to "fix" the rest of the car. I'd really keep up on those surfaces with a good UV-blocking sealant; Optimum Car Wax is one that has a dedicated UV inhibitor in it. Or a coating might be another way to go.

Re: HELP!!!! Clearcoar failure or oxidation
Thanks!! I am in the mountains of NC but bought the car from TN which is much hotter than it is here. I am hoping its not clear coat failure but I'm kinda leaning that way. Absolutely no bubbling or peeling "yet" and its all horizontal panels.... I used the uc probably 3 to 4 times on trunk area u can see it a little bit but pretty much cleared it up but hood is a different story. I really appreciate the quick response!

If you tried compounding it and it just comes back, im gonna say i thinks its clear coat failure.

Re: HELP!!!! Clearcoar failure or oxidation
that's what I was afraid of asalesagent921! compounding really helped trunk and tops of doors but not hood or roof it looks great when I first put it on but dries up and white is back

I think a good option is citrol 266.
You may want to try this. Your clear coat may be stained.

Re: HELP!!!! Clearcoar failure or oxidation

Re: HELP!!!! Clearcoar failure or oxidation
See my article and the picture in it here,
Beginning Clearcoat Failure
Here is the best example I've been able to find that shows beginning clear coat failure, it's from a thread I created on MeguiarsOnline called the The Clearcoat Failure Photo Archive
Since I have not been able to find a similar car with the beginning of clear coat failure to photograph for the AG forum, and because this is a very useful picture for helping people diagnose what type of problem they're having with their car's clear coat I've added to the Clearcoat Failure Photo Gallery Archive here on AG but have given proper credit to where I obtained the photograph.
Due credit where due credit is due.... which more people would do this...
