This is a little more infuriating than “mildly infuriating” but I can’t think of a better place to post it

Edit: I’d like to clarify that I live in East Tennessee, not an area like Florida! I do appreciate the hints that it might be clearcoat goblins though, and I’ve left a saucer of milk and cheese out to ward them away

    Maybe a person but I’ve had that happen too and didn’t suspect anyone. My friend who does auto body work said it was because I never wax my truck and park in the sun. Hopefully it’s the same for you. Here’s to a better day!

      Just curious, did it also have those streaks? Obviously my first thought was fingernails (could be because I have the urge to peel cracking clear coat and I’m projecting lol). It’s just bizarre happening when it did, and where I live since it’s essentially been cloudy and overcast just about every day this month! I needed to get it fixed regardless, so no harm no foul I guess?

      Thanks for the tips, and here’s to perfect clear coat and smooth paint to you!

        My current car is shedding its clear coat. It looks like it has streaks like that all over it. I think it’s just where the clear first lifts. I doubt it’s a random attack.

        The streaks kinda look like someone poured a liquid there which migrated outwards under the paint. Maybe paint thinner or break fluid? Any neighborhood beef?
