I have a black Cl-s, and I keep wax on the car. When being lazy I wax the car once a month, but on the trunk and the roof I am seeing the effects of acid rain in the clear coat. I am thinking about repainting the car and having them apply two coats of clear. Any comments would be appreciated.

 

that makes me wonder how my car is doing. I wash it once every... umm 6-8 months... haha

 

I would clay it first to see if there really is DEEP damage....

 

Any potential buyer of your car will walk away from it if it has been repainted.
If the acid rain (or UV?) damage is in the surface of the clearcoat, what does it matter how many coats you have? Are you thinking thicker is better? It would be an outstanding paintshop that could match the quality of a factory paintjob.

 

the quality of the factory paint job... havent head that one before, you are right factory > maaco, but a real paint job > *

 

Thing is, there is no paint job LIKE a factory paint job.

real paint job = depreciation < *

OTOH, if you plan on keeping the car, I'd get it repainted.

 

oh i understand the factory paint has value, but words like this :

make me think he feels like the factory paint is good

 

I have water spots. After dawn, clay, polish, wax, I still have spots. They are etched into the clear coat.

It will take a high speed orbital or rotary to get the spots out. Lucky I have silver, the spots are not very noticable.

 

I tried cleaners, and I have paid for Professional Paint reconditioner, but the acid rain is still on the trunk and roof. I have on spot that is completely thru the clear coat. I know I can repaint the car, but Acura has a 5 year unlimited on the paint, does this excluded the affects of acid rain.

 

You've only had the car for less then 5 years and the clear coat is gone already? See if the dealer will do something, but I would suspect they may just pin it on neglect.
