21 Taco TRD Offroad - Clear coat damage/ coming off

Anyone seen any issues with their clear coat. Black/metallic, hood and roof have what appear to be water stains but it is where the clearcoat is gone. Tried buffing but no good. My truck is only about 8 months old, 5k miles, never left outside, a real garage queen. WTF?

 

do you have a picture? toyota's paint sucks

 

I have 2022 black tacoma that stays outside have 5k on it. I will check mine and report back. Bought last November. Gonna be a few days before I can wash it though, its pretty dirty.

 

Mine was ceramic coated by the dealer, tried to charge me 800 bones for it, I said no way and they took the charge off!!

 

For $800, that was not a real ceramic coating.

 

Yeah. My hood are roof are completely fucked. Heavily oxodized. I need to get them wrapped, hopefully I’m not too far gone.

 

Well I feel stupid. Water, waxing, buffing with cloth didn't remove them and a fingernail catches when you drag across the spots, so I was sure it was clearcoat damage. Drove to dealer and saw the detail guys working outside so I showed it to them and they laughed.
Mineral deposit where water has dried. Don't buff it coz it scratches the paint when the particles break loose. He used a shop towel dipped in vinegar(their secret cleaner just for this ) rubbed some out, wiped with clean water, put some spray wax on it and it looks like new.
Jeezus, who woulda thought. This is a before picture on the roof(if it loads)

 

Easy to get those sort of spots when the truck is sprayed by lawn irrigation sprinklers. Usually fairly hard water comes out of them.

 

Feeling relieved for you. I would still get it coated to help avoid this in the future, though. Sounds like nothing's protecting your paint with how well the hard water stuck on.
