12 months ago my Diablo was pretty much immaculate bar the expected stone chips at the front that you'd expect on a high miler, and yet today it's suffering lacquer problems all over the place and is starting to look really quite tatty and getting worse on a monthly basis. Just noticed that there's numerous 2-3mm diameter spots all over the front of the roof where the lacquer is starting to go that weren't there when I washed it last month
No idea why it suddenly started suffering from so many lacquer problems in such a comparitively short space of time as it's not like they're even on adjacent panels - off the top of my head the roof, bonnet, grill, both offside rub strips and one nearside strip have all gone, almost all of it in the last 6 months.
Certainly I've never seen lacquer deteriorate at the rate it's doing on this car, just baffled why it has taken 13 years to suddenly do so at the rate it has. None of my other cars are suffering in the same way which suggests it isn't anything environmental that's behind it and must be something with the original paint itself (the front wing that was replaced and resprayed ~5 years back is perfect)
