Wax Your Car Regularly
Regular waxing is ideal for preventing car clear coat peeling. Waxing creates a layer that prevents the trapping of airborne contaminants such as bugs and acid rain in the clear coat. Using a wax that contains UV protection can, therefore, reduce the impact of the sun on the clear coat.
Likewise, do you put reducer in clear coat? Reducer is used to reduce the viscosity of the paint - i.e. make it "thinner" or more "watery". If the clear requires reducer, then it will not spray well or at the very least will not flow out smoothly once it's sprayed onto a surface if the reducer is omitted.
Just so, does WD 40 ruin clear coat?
up the scratches, getting dirt and anything else that was ground into your paint out, it's not actually repairing the scratch. On top of that, WD-40 can actually damage the wax and clear coat that your paint job has. And more than that, WD-40 is oily, so when it rains or you wash your car, it will wash away.
