Im getting cracks in my clear coat from the sun. Does anybody know how to repair them? They are generally little cracks on the doors. Any ideas?

They can't be repaired. You can buff & polish to minimize their appearance.

Only way to fix cracks is to sand them out completely ( or chemically strip the car) and repaint. Robb is correct that their appearance can be minimised using polishes/glazes.

Ya, I can see what you all mean. Im planning on spending the weekend sanding out the cracks, and touching up the clear coat. Thanks for your help.
