>From what I've seen over the years, flaking clear coat is mostly a matter of a
car that hasn't been out of the elements since sometime late in the 2nd
Clinton administration and likely has never seen a can of wax, either. I can't
imagine most Triumph owners spending several thousand on any sort of repaint
and then leaving the car outside forever after! ;)
