The attached picture came from a 2014 BMW 4 series. Any guess on this defect?

Crappy body work is my guess.

Clear coat failure, bad polishing or dried wax.

Burn-through.

The rear deck lid was repaired. They ended the repair on both sides of deck were I took the pic. The new clear and meets the old clear. A blender is used to meet the two areas. The blender is added to the new clear so it's thinner there. Regular cleaning and waxing with eventually wear this area out. So you end up with a blend line. You may see this a lot especially on sail panels ( between rear glass and sides). At least they did not clear over the letters!

I should add that for some reason they did not clear the whole deck. They used the body line as a soft edge to end the repair.

And Ins.Co.'s will only blend most 1/4 panels.
