Several factors contribute to paint peeling and clear coat failure in the Prius:

Exposure to UV Rays: Prolonged sun exposure can break down the paint and clear coat layers, leading to fading and peeling.
Extreme Weather Conditions: Exposure to harsh weather such as extreme heat, cold, and humidity can cause the paint to degrade.
Poor Factory Paint Quality: In some cases, poor-quality factory paint o r improper application may lead to clear coat failure o r peeling.
Lack of Protective Coatings: Not applying protective coatings like wax, sealant, o r ceramic coatings can lead to faster paint deterioration.

Owners can reduce the risk of peeling and clear coat failure by taking preventive measures such as applying protective coatings.
