Hello,
I have a 2012 Toyota Camry V6 SE, and on my front bumper there is a white plastic or coat or something peeling off and it looks pretty bad. Is this PPF or some sort of clear coat?
What’s the best way to fix this?

Clear coat.
Clear coat, You can’t fix it…
Yeah clear coat is starting to fail. Waxing consistently prevents this, or if you buy special coats when the car is new. I think my mom’s Chevy Volt had what they called “diamond” coat or something like that where you don’t have to wax it ever. Not sure how that works. I believe you can stop the peeling by applying a clear coat (cheapest) or have it professionally buffed, but that’ll obviously be more expensive
Clear coat. Seems to be pretty common on Honda and Toyota paint for much older vehicles….. though other makes aren’t exactly immune to it either…I just typically see it happen later in the vehicles life.
As others have said, it is the clear coat failing and peeling off. The only way to fix it is to respray it. You can probably get it done for a few hundred or so at a maaco.
Peeling clear coat. Cheapest DIY is to sand progressively with 400-2000 grit sandpaper and respray many layers. Then apply sealant like wax or ceramic for it to last 👍
