Unhappy Clear coat problems

Front bumper



Rear bumper


This started 2 weeks ago and I don't know what to do. What should I do before the paint gets sun baked and chipped? Apply a new coat of clear? By the way I washed the car once since I bought it 2 months ago and used Zaino products which I do not recommend anymore

I also used liquid dishwashing/handwashing soap like Zaino said to wash the car to get it as clean as possible. Is that why the clear coat is peeling off?

your bumpers have been painted before. the peeling is a result to poor prep. by the bodyshop who did the work. i'm sorry to say that there is no real way of fixing it without a complete respray of the bumpers.

edit: nothing that you did resulted in this.

No. Did you have recent work done to it? Is there still a warranty?

I'd get it to a body shop anyways.

The front bumper is a Nismo bumper so it was painted at the factory. The rear bumper I don't know.

if you bought the bumper directly from the factory and if the bumper was painted by them, contact them to see if there something they can do. if you bought it from a distributor and they had it painted before they sent it to you, contact the distributor.
