My daily '89 beater has Clearcoat peeling off in sheets. I can almost understand, because altho it was cared for, it was never garaged and the AZ sun is treacherous! Now, my garage-queen-always-pampered '93 has a clearcoat flaw starting the size of a dime on the hood, roof and trunklid. HOW, in all good concience can Ford sell cars with cheap, shoddy paintjobs on them??? I am about to visit every Ford Dealer in the area and ask if THIS is what will happen to the 2005 TBird costing a FORTUNE in only 10 or 12 years. Can you see my point? Shouldn't they make good on the lousey paintjob we all ended up with? What exactly IS the meaning of the phrase "Ford-Tough" in the comercials?
Okay, on to the question : Is there ANYthing I can do to STOP or SLOW the deterioration of the clearcoat? The '89 went the same way. It was fine for about 10 years, started peeling in a few spots, and then ZAP!!! Now, more than 2/3rds of the clearcoat is gone. Oh, I have about 20 coats of Zaino on my '93, it's the Midnight Opal color(black metalflake), but it is still starting to grow. AAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
