    "Protecting" Clear Coat Failure until Repair

    I have a spot on the fender where the clear coat is pealing off, it's about 3 inches in diameter. I know this can only be fixed by a body shop, but in the meantime, what should I do to 'protect' the area? When I polish the car should I avoid this spot or polish it as well?

I'm certainly not going to obsess over it but would like to keep it looking nice, however, I am stationed at Ft. Lewis which is about 30 miles south of Seattle, which means it rains 8 months out of the year...

    Best products for light swirls/oxidation by hand

    I do not have PC or the ability to get one right now, but I still want to see what I can do to help out my 11 year old paint (Red 1995 Mustang GT). I do not mind the work involved in doing it by hand. The oxidation is very light, it really can only be seen under flourescent lighting or very...
