If you use regular clear coat it'll keep happening, if you use something like Meguair's you have to reapply every year. You could also use Aerospace 303 every time you wash the car (which you should be using for your interior anyway).. |

i have a bottle of that meguiars stuff, is it easy to overapply it? does it harm paint if you get any overspray on your paint?

I masked like crazy so I don't know what it'll do to paint but the label says remove with rubbing alcohol in case you get some on. Another option is to use Xpel Paint Protection Film -that has UV inhibitors. I have PPF on my front bumper and hood since 2013 and it's still clear. |

I doubt you caused it. Mine have had nothing specific on them and are just starting to show signs of fogging over along the top surfaces (2013 purchased 05/2012). It is garage kept but spends most of its days in a parking lot at work.

Took the car to its first Track session at calibogie.
Learned a lot about my driving and the car. It needs pads, fluid and tires ASAP! |

You have to keep in mind the sun beating on the plastic turns it yellow and when you're driving it's like getting sandblasted with all the stuff in the air, sand, bugs, rocks ant etc your clear headlights turn opaque. Paint protectio0n film is the way to go BUT with the contours of the headlights it's a PITA to apply UNLESS you take out your headlights and have a friend hit it with a hair dryer/heat gun as you stretch it. |

I've just ordered all the interior black trims (jdm) from japan.
And few days ago I got the alignment after the eibach pro kit. Beautiful to drive now |

Finally got my car inspected. Also got an oil change done while it was there, since I only got the car in June and I don't know when it was last changed.
