Hi guys -

I bought a little car for my wife to encourage her to learn to drive, it’s about 15 years old, I was washing it yesterday for the third time since buying it at Christmas and there must of been some severe chips in places and the jet wash has got under and lifted the clear coat, is there a DIY fix to this or do I need to bite the bullet and have each panel that has lifted clear coat resprayed?

Thanks guys

It can certainly be recovered as a DIY project. There are a few clips on YouTube of people repairing very similar damage.
One might question the integrity of the remaining lacquer so you'd have to weigh up the risks.

That is great thanks!

Great video!

I don’t have anything to loose having a go myself so I’ll try and if it fails I’ll go to the body shop!
