What kind of car is this happening on? Make and model. etc.
not what I wanted to read....so I'm guessing all I can do untill I can come up with the cash for a respray I'll have to just let it continually get worse?
you could try some rattle can clear coat - this should slow it down a bit.

you mean like Dupli-Color Clear coat?
A $20 can of wax could have prevented this from happening.
I am sorry to say it looks like clear coat failure.

I know, isn't it unbelievable how people don't learn till it's too late!
Sad sad sad.
I bought the car in Feb, and have waxed it ever since...so your ignorance isn't needed thanks. I posted for help not to receive criticism.
Also from what I've read from the help of the other members is that Clear Coat Failure is not a problem on the surface but a deterioration of the paint itself. So even if I wasn't waxing, there is not much that I could have done to keep this from happening. I am assuming the waxing helps though.

That looks like paint failure to me. It looks like the pigmented coat has failed down to the primer.
Based on the pictures, I have to agree that the problem is much more than just clearcoat failure.If you look at the Meguiars link Dalton left you above. The pigmented coat is still there on all these pictures. The picture you posted of your car lookslike the pigmented coat has peeled away. If that is so, It's paint failure. When you have clearcoat failure, most of the time the damage area can be repaired and that will fix the problem. When you have paint failure, there is something else that went wron when the car was painted. I am thinking the car will have to be repainted. I hope I am wrong. But would like to know.
Could the vehicle have been repainted?
Maybe just the hood has been refinished.
