My Cobra has fucked up clear on my bumpers but the roof isn't so bad. Anyone know of a place or someone that can possible fix it? If not just a polish would be cool. I want to get this done soon before Knotts

If the clear coat has failed, there is not much you can do other than repaint it.

If the clear coat is done then you don't want someone polishing it

as soon as clearcoat fails, de-laminating or just fading out,,the base color starts to lose pigment, sure someone can re spray the bad clear areas with clear but you will notice the difference in color due to pigment loss

Yea the clear is gone on the top part of the bumpers so I guess I'll just wait to repaint after Knotts since it's not in my budget right now. Thanks for all the responsesame y'all [patriot]
