Cleacoat flaking
I just bought an 02 ZO6 and it is in great shape overall. But there are a couple spots where the cleacoat is flaking off.
What is the best best remedy to stop it from spreading any further. And how do I fix the spots? It's 2-3 spots and none of them are bigger than a quarter.
The car doesnt look like it has it has been repainted at all so not sure why it's flaking like this.

I have seen this several times before to various degrees. Unfortunately there is no real fix other than paint the panel. You may be able to find a very experienced paint shop who could spot paint and blend the affected area. Since the car is a 2002 the paint may have some fade or could have been polished so much or polished incorrectly the clear may be very thin and a repaint may be the only permanent and correct option.

No real fix, you could try getting the entire car polished out to hopefully keep the rest of the paint in top condition and then apply a coating to it all and hope that will keep it from spreading but that's not a guarantee either....

Well that blows. Guess for right now I just need to make sure it doesn't get worse than it is. And can address it further down the line.
