I haven't seen clear coat failure on a 986 before, has yours been parked outside or in a garage? Have you waxed it regularly? Have you ever used a very strong pressure washer on it?



Thanks, yes ill remove the bumper and give it for painting, either way i wanted to clear the front radiators sometime

About the clearcoat issue, idk to be honest, the car was always in a garage, except some days spending in the Island sun with high temps.... But those clearcoat issues seem to have started from small bugs/rocks damaging the bumper and "breaking" the consistent coat - No ?


About the wax, im waxing it sometimes using the Porsche Classic hard wax (https://www.design911.co.uk/fu/prod131016/Porsche-Classic-Car-Care---Hard-Wax-250ml/) but not sure if its good..

About the pressure, im afraid that ive been using it a bit closer than i should
