Question small clearcoat prob

I have 3 rather small spots on my car where the clearcoat has faded and has little bubbles. here is a pic of one spot
Ive already tryed using 3M finish restorer and it didnt realy help. is there any thing I can use to hide or fix this?

Also I didnt notice these spots when I got the car a little over a month ago. Ive used Turtle Wax color cure polish on it once, Meguiars Cleaner wax on it twice, and Meguiars Deep Chrystal paint cleaner step 1 once. could any of these have caused the spots to appear or become more noticeable

Probably nothing you used caused the spots to get any worse, the more you polish/wax them the more they will stand out, I would show it to a few body shops and see what they can do for you, it tough looking at pixs.

Yeah, Carl is right, as usual. The products you used wouldn't necessarily cause clear coat failure like that, unless you're using harsh abrasives repeatedly. Once the clear peels/bubbles off, it's gone and nothing you apply to the paint will fix it or blend it in. If your serious about keeping a good/perfect finish, you'll need to talk with either a body shop or painter and see what they can do. A painter may be able to repaint that area and apply more clear.

My old 92 Camaro had some clear peeling off like that in small, unnoticable, areas. Nothing you can really do about it, except taking it to a repair shop.
