I agree djomlas !

I was just commenting the other day to a friend of mine on why when I wash and Zaino the Box and the Benz, after a couple of days of driving both the Boxster is all dusty and looks like crap, and the Benz still looks freshly washed ( both are black, and the Boxster sits in the garage while the Benz is outside ) ? This is taking the same route to work, and parking in the same underground parking space at work. I just don't get it

Clear Coat Peeling?

If it is the clear coat peeling what are my options to repair? Can this be a DIY project?

Once again, I am no expert, but I doubt that a clear coat touch up job would be a DIY. I think it would be very difficult to even out with the rest of your hood unless you plan to do the entire thing. With a hood being the "altar" of a car, I wouldn't do it without a spray booth. Maybe try taking it to an autobody shop and seeing if they can respray the clear coat on just the hood.

I have the same issue. Some areas look like runs in paint and some areas look mily in color. My car is black and someone said they think it was repainted, but I think it is original, just a factory paint flaw. It is throughout the car and can ponly e seen certain time sof the day with full sun
