    Clear coat going bad

    My 1980 kz1300 bagger has a very serious problem with the clear coat going bad. I thought it was sand from the sand blaster but it seems to be the clear coat on the 2 bags and the trunk.
    I use rubbing compound and a rag . After a lot of work, i get it off. Ant\y advive on making it easier for me??

    Need more information. Is the clear delaminating (peeling)?

      OK Thanks for the reply.

      There is a dense cracking. It feels like sand. It comes off with a lot of fingernail scraping an we have used rubbing compound in one spot. it doesnt come off too easily though. I will go outside now and take some pics if i can.

      The third photo is where we used rubbing compound. The whole surface was bad before the rubbing. It was an awfull job. Is there a better way????

              It's not what you want to hear, but I'm afraid there is no saving that short of a respray. The clear has given up the ghost......

                Also, can i scrape it off and just wax the paint???
                Can you give me some options please. I dont know anything about painting.

                  Affraid so. The paint can't survive without the clear.
                  It will need to be repainted. No way around it.

                      I had a tank on a 650 that was so bad it actually looked like rust forming, I had a high speed 90 degree buffer and some waxing rubbing compound and it went rather fast and looked great when done. The only thing is I had to do the whole tank to match the look. I think I used something like scratchout or tarnish gone or something like that. The buffer is the main part, you can do a lot in a little time with excellent results.
