Thanks! Even if the above info isn't correct, I do plan on waxing with the Optimum spray on wax every 2 or 3 washes because its soooo easy. I should also be able to stop daily driving the car in the next couple weeks, so it will live happily in the garage except for nice days and track days!

Hey all, sorry for the late update. So turns out the damage was just oxidation, not clear coat damage. The steps I outlined worked great! Car looked awesome (I say looked because its my daily and Berlina Black is so damn fragile, it's not as nice as it was :(). Either way, thanks for all the...

Just an update, I ran my hand across the damaged area and it felt smooth, so I don't think its overspray. Either way, I'm waiting on all my goodies to get here from Autogeek, and will hopefully tackle the car over winter break.

I'll try and do the baggie test over it this weekend. Would be great if that's what it was, rather than pretty early clear coat failure.

Mike, thanks a ton for the comments. I would be over the moon if this was simply oxidation. I'll give it a try and report back on my results. I do have a porter cable DA, but haven't used it in a couple years, so I'll be sure to review the tips. And thanks for the optimum suggestion, I now...

Thanks for the response! I'm not expecting the polish to really correct the clear coat damage, I'm more using it to clean up the rest of the car that hasn't already started deteriorating. I am going to do a test spot on the damage, but since the two spots are on the hood and fender, whatever I...

Hello all, new to the forum so please direct me to the correct area if this isn't the proper place to post. I have an 05 Berlina Black S2000 with about 46k miles on it. After a recent accident that required a repaint of the driver side, I noticed what is probably some clear coat damage on part...
