I have a 2008 Lexus SC430, the radio face has some slight discoloration. The car has been garaged almost 100% of it's life. I had another one, a 2004 and as I recall it had the same issue only more so. Have any of you out there had this same issue? thanks in advance for your time and input. Craig Murphy

please post pictures of the radio and your paint problem.

I am going to try and include a picture of the clear coat discoloration. There are several places, but this one is on the hood. I placed a key fob next to the spot. It was hard to get a decent picture because of the reflections and also I probably am not too skillful with my camera phone. Craig Murphy

Clear coat blemish just below the key fob on hood.

I mistakenly said that the radio face had some discoloration. It does but not as significantly as the climate control face / glass has. Maybe I am remembering my 2004 model? Anyway, it only shows when you have the climate control off. It is almost like it got condensation behind the glass or something. But when you turn on the a/c or the heat it does not show????? Again I tried to take a picture but not sure how well it shows up. Will attach below. Craig Murphy Climate control face with streaks behind the glass

Looks like the anti-reflective coating is coming off.
Some of us have had good results using plastx to clean off the remainder of the coating.

+1 that's what I did to mine. I would do it again in the same situation.
