clear coat in patches

A real pin head on this subject. i just waxed the 28 with waubernize, an 04 model with no previous use and noticed the 15k miles done from oct through march in tough conditions has had its effect on the clear coat. Some leading edges, and some patches on both sides near the back have no clear coat. Sticks out like a sore thumb. I am ready for the bad news??????

well the ONLY sure fix is panel replacement...$$$

there is NO replacement product compatible with the alcoa coating,

beyond the treatment of tiny spots with nail polish or auto clear touch up...

so PLEASE post photos...

it is hard to believe patches of the alcoa clearcoat are missing on a 4 year old trailer.

let's SEE what is going on with your unit's finish...

are there any patches of corrosion anyplace?

cheers

No corrosion. Just missing clear coat in spots. Not good.
