You're welcome.

From my experience 'all be it some time ago', issues with clear coat occur due to the following reasons:

- Area is consistently exposed to large volumes of sunlight;
- Something was placed/exposed on the area and weakened it;
- Excessive compounding 'heavy polish';
- Has resulted due to a repair in an area nearby 'when a part of a panel is refinished, in order to get the area to blend in with the rest of the panel the entire panel is shot over with thinners, this is why you sometimes see blotches on paint work'.

I've never heard of an entire car being re-clear-coated but then again I'm not up to date with current refinishing technologies 'I thought this was only the roof we were talking about'.

In regards to working on a budget 'also taking into consideration doing it all in one hit to save future rework', I'd still go with just getting the roof fixed, having the entire car buffed whilst there, and then using a quality polish and just being regular with it.

I'm a big fan of the Autoglym range as it just works, or TurtleWax, Meguiar's appears popular but never seems to achieve the results I want and 'to me', is overpriced for what it promises.
