My 2000 Ford Expedition is begining to have some cloudyness on the hood. Looks like the very begining of clearcoat failure is there anyway to slow it down. I realize there is no way to stop it I just need to slow it down as much as possible make it last as long as possible.
 
Sometimes all you can do is all you can do.... so do it...

Do everything you can to keep the paint out of direct sunlight.

Never wash with any type of soap that contains a detergent or is strong or harsh

Hand apply some #7 Show Car Glaze. I don't know if this will really help but it can't hurt and it should also "clear" up the paint a little. If after applying the #7 the paint looks better then keep on doing this all the time.

Read my article here on my article list under the heading,

Beginning Clearcoat Failure



There's probably just about an article for any topic someone wants information about in my article list.

The link to my article list is in my Signature Line and that means the link to my article list is in over 32,000 posts on the forum. It's actually pretty easy to find.

CEE DOG's thread on CQ and OC he applied directly to roof that had clear coat failure already, if I recall it seemed to seal it nicely. Maybe try C Quartz or Opti-Coat ? I wouldn't "prepare" the paint vigorously with cleaning chemicals etc, but mild wash, mild clay and coat with CQ or OC perhaps?
 
Thanks Mike and Cee Dog for the replies. I think I will try CQ or OC and see what I get.
