I was talking to my neighbor today and I noticed this:20190614_171624.jpg 20190614_171605.jpg
WTF!!?? I swear it wasn't like this a few months ago. It's on the front of the roof too, but not as bad.

That’s like a zillion scratches. It didn’t happen overnight!
Never even noticed. Looks like the clear gave up the ghost. That's the clear all f@$cked up--checked and flaking. I wonder what would happen if it was wet sanded.

You won’t wet sand that out, no way. That needs new paint. Maybe if it was just a few light scratches but that’s fu*ked brother. Looks like someone was carrying shit up there for a long time. Without a roof rack, just tying it to the roof. What kind of a life did it have before you bought it? Was the PO doing construction? That’s some serious damage, done over a long time.

I'm with you on this one, as my 05 has just started this too. I waxed it last fall and there was a few tiny spots like yours, but now most of the roof, the top of the passenger door, and hood are screwed. And it happened in less than 4 months.
