It's like a 4" by 3" patch and all around it I can see it has a layer less... Does it have to be clear coated or can it wax out?
Any chance you can get me a close up pic? It seems odd the clear would peel off, what pressure rating is the pressure washer and how far away did you hold it from the paint? What type of tip was on the pressure washer (angle of the spray pattern like 25 degrees)?

If the clear is gone it needs to be repainted....sorry.
