A few weeks ago I noticed it has a LOT of "bubbles" on it now. Not sure how they got there. You can feel them on the surface...which used to be perfectly smooth. It's like the clearcoat is bubbling off the underlayment or something. I dunno.

I am not trying to discourage anybody here. It appears pretty much everybody else has had zero issues. Prolly just an isolated incident.
It's a known problem with fiberglass based CF products. The fiberglass is breathing underneath the clear coat causing the clear to expand and bubble out.
