Default Clear coat damage

Clear coat damage spots appeared down from my fuel door.



How can I repair this?



Spots started forming and depleting clear coat in some areas from fuel spills & fuel treatment additives..





Thanks

The RD paint jobs from the factory are garbage. This might not be what you want to hear but your best alternative is to save up and respray. Good luck and try not to waste your time and money repairing what has started because clear coat peeling spreads like cancer. Just my 2 ....

The clear has peeled of of my drivers mirror and most of the spoiler thanks to some dumbass prank and a 6 pack of monster.

The bumpers are clearly fading as well, not to long for them either. Wish there was an easier method but I'm going for the respray method myself.
