Gotta love the clear coat.

I'm confused... are you saying your 5 year old daily driver left in the elements has the clear coat peeling off in California. But a 10 year old clear coated car left in the elements in a California junkyard usually look brand new and no clear coat issues?

I agree, young people just throw cars away with no knowledge on how to fix there cars.
No, I got nothing 5 years old that is checking, but the 80's-90's cars were peeling before the 5 year warranties were up. And I have heard a few warranty claims that were not covered (improper care, no wax, not washed regularly, etc) those were the terrible paint cars. Newer cars (in the past 10 years) seem to be holding on, even in the yards, but I still see some dark paint examples rolling around with cancer paint. We had a 2012 Grand Caravan we traded in 2 years ago that was checking on the roof, that would make it 5 years old when it started....always parked outside, hard to get up there every time and wax that roof.
