I have some clear coat chipping off right under the driver's side door window, right under the rubber. Is there anyway to hide this unsightly peeling, or do I just have to take it to the paint shop and see what they can do?

 

You can't realy hide it. It sounds like the door was possibly repainted at one time and not done well. You'd probably need to have it repainted.

 

Repaint is the only way to fix clearcoat peel

 

clear nail polish is a quick repair...but not fix..its comming off on my hood scoops area and need to touvh it up there so it dosnt spread..
Like I said its not a fix..but with a nice brush and some thinned out nail polish clear it can cover it..and a few coats of wax..hard to tell

 

yeah, have never done that, but I might give the nail polish a try first since those supplies are easy to come by, and is simple. if that doesn't work then i'll have to try the wet sanding out, thanks for all your help.

 

You cannot wetsand peeling clear and reclear it, you'll damage the basecoat and discolor it while sanding. What you were halfway describing was how to sand an area in preparation for color blending. But under no circumstances do you use polishes near an area you are going to paint! Polish raw basecoat? Bad advice. That's a setup for more peeling clear I'm not even going to go into the proper tecniques on how to do a color blend, it is not something the novice should attempt. But mcmb that was some bad advice. Repaint is the only true solution for you rlax31, the clear could just keep on peeling, better safe than sorry.

 

Bralgar is correct. You cannot properly repair peeling clear coat without repainting the panel. If you sand basecoat you have to put at least one coat of basecoat over it to keep the area from looking discolored after clearing it. Any automotive paint professional knows that that is the correct way. Even when there is a run in the base you have to sand out the run and blow a few coats over the run area otherwise you will see where the run was. Remember that clearcoat will magnify any blemishes underneath it.
