Hello All

I am new to the forum and have a question. I have a '97 Suzuki Esteem (I know not a car you would think about going detail crazy on) that on the driver's side rear door it appears as if the clear coat is peeling off or a layer of color is peeling off what can I do to restore this. Do I need to take it in to get a paint job or are there products I can use to restore the area?:scared

Sorry no Digicam or a place to store pics. But the look of what is happening is there is a Frosted area around the dull area on the door that is about 2 inches high and 3 or 4 inches wide the dull area looks similar to the car color.

Azguath. And what do you mean, "no Digicam or a place to store pics"? If you have no digicam, that's one point. But you DO have a place to post pix. From the Autopia homepage, click on Gallery. You have a place to post pix here.

Also, if you have a problem -- and obviously you do -- feel free to post it in the Autopia University forum. Tons of folks will be looking there and just longin' to give free advice.

Lucky you, to be in Arizona. I'd gladly swap humidity-levels with you right now.

I will take the humidity you can have the gas shortage we are going thru. I have no digicam but I do have a scanner will try to get some pics of the damage posted here and in the Autopia University if I get a chance very busy with other projects ATM

Nonsense! Almost any car's appearance can benefit from a good detail.

Welcome.
