Clearcoat failure?

My '95 GMC Sierra has something strange going on. I was using SSR 2.5 with the PC today, and I noticed small white dots in several places. When I scratched at one of them it appears as if the clearcoat popped off in the area that was white. Is this the beginning of the end for my clearcoat? I had a '90 Pontiac Grand Prix that had a similar thing happen, but on a much larger scale right along a bend in the sheet metal on the hood. It spread very rapidly on that car, and was clearly the clearcoat dying. Should I touch up the areas on my truck where this is happening with some clearcoat touch up, or what? I tried to take pics, but it didn't really come out well because the spots are only a little larger than the size of a pin head. In this picture it is the little crater you see at the top near the middle.

Sorry to be the guy to break the bad news but itâ€â„¢s probably history.



You may be able to "fix" a spot here or there if it was caused isolated chemical attacks (bird bomb, chemical splatter or something) but chances are they're just the beginning.
