    I have a little bit of a clearcoat peeling problem on the concave portion of the bumper just below the trunklid. How do I repair it? And can I repair it without repainting the whole bumper? I intend to have the bumper repainted in probably less than 2 years so the fix would be temporary.

    Lastly, will simply waxing over it fix it? I haven't waxed in a little while, but it would look discolored if i just waxed over it.

    I see terms like "wetsanding" tossed around and I'm not sure what they mean. I was thinking I could use super fine grit (1000-2000) sandpaper and soapy water to try to remove the clear coat in the approximately 2 feet by one inch wide region of the bumper. Then sand it so it's smooth with the surrounding painted area. Then I would try to put on some sort of spray on clearcoat, let it dry, and then sand it flush with the surrounding clearcoat. Is this possible?

    what you said pretty much. but after the clear coat is dry, you'll want to re wet sand, then buff with rubbing compound to get rid of the sanding marks.
