Won't work if it's peeling..

Best bet will be to wet sand it down with like 800 or 1200 grit, then reclear it... I am going to do this to my trunk sooner than later...

This product is available at most auto parts stores. It takes that old ratty clearcoat off fast! Then wash with warm soapy water and dry it. After polishing, you can clearcoat again if you want to, but it makes it a little duller."
