Question
I, like many others, own a Buick (1995 LeSabre) with severe peeling paint problems on roof, and back fenders, so far.  Is there reliable data out there on which years of Buick were affected by the "factory paint problems" that I've read about?  Were the paint problems resolved in later Buick models?

Answer
You have a 13 year old car. These clears are only good for 8 to 10 in extreme conditions. The car makers have done a better job in recent years with paint quality but if your car is constantly in the sun and weather with no wax or protection, the clear will disintegrate
