Looks like the clear is degrading. Polishing compound might hide it somewhat.

Maybe you could cover it...I know these go on and come off without damage...your damage may not be in the right location. Just a thought

Well you maybe right about that, however if I remember right it all started last year when I had to replace my radiator's reservoir because the out side was cracked and was leaking. Stupid me, I wouldn't notice until the leaking was bad and making it's trail under my car and out to the curb but it would spill down the side of the fender.

I wonder how long it went on in all reality until I actually noticed it? It started being noticeable from only a couple of feet......pretty much when you were washing it but the Florida sun as you said, has taken it's toll. I was thinking of Zzzona's idea and going "Grandsport" on it and forget about the scar altogether.

If the stripes will cover it, go for the GS look until you can afford to get it repaired correctly, or have some custom work done.
