    Paint Deteriorating, Options?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hello Detailing forum, after several years of parking outside the paint on the front driver's side door is deteriorating. It first started to look like a bunch of small scratches, then some bird crapped on it, but was cleaned up. Now the clear coat and paint is gone sorta of . Anyways what are my options? Repaint? Wet sanding (have not done this before)?

    Also, the majority of the time it's parked directly at the sun and I wash it about twice a month.

    Actually yes, had someone hit the side of the door, then had it replaced and re-sprayed. I'm guessing it's too far gone for a spot fix?
