Default Clear Coat Cracking

Anybody heard of the clear coat cracking? I have a 2000 Honda Civic SI and the Auto Body Shop told me alot of them do it. Especially on the hood. I'm gonna get the car buffed for a smooth look anyway and he said he could make it look good but it would just happen again. It also did it on the roof. I thinkin about a carbon fiber hood. Anybody know where to get a good price? Post a link if so.

Also he said he would wet sand the roof and it shouldn't do it again but he garunteed the hood would do it again.

I have a 95 and its getting pretty bad on the hood. 4 out of the 6 hondas i looked at before i bought mine had the same problem. Im definitly not too psyched on it. I think im gonna get it repainted soon.

Yeah, my hood has it too. They're very fine and you can really only see them after a wax.

Yea, he also said it was only visible after waxing and he said something about a colored wax so it wouldn't show up as bad. Is there such a thing?
