Once the clear coat goes milky, is when a repaint is necessary using primer top coat then clear coat.

My RRS is starting to lose the clear on the roof. Coming off in small random patches. No milky degradation. Just lifting in localised spots like it didn't stick down properly. That has happened suddenly, too. A few months ago it was perfect, now there are several sections lifting. Bonnet and all other surfaces are still perfect. AFAIK it has never been resprayed and there's no obvious evidence of that. Maybe now is the opportunity to contrast the roof, or not...
The D1 however.... It went milky and then the clear crumbled to dust.
