I have a 97 CC with the metallic green clearcoat and I have not
experienced any problems with the looks of it. I did have my truck
detailed professionally for around $150.00 though. I made sure to let
the detail shop know I did not expect any "swirling" looks when they
were done. They did an outstanding job and put a hard wax on that makes
it look excellent in the sun....

My 97 is brilliant blue pearlcoat. I have read a lot on the
various
newsgroups (e.g. rec.autos.chrysler) about the bad paint jobs in
the
early 90's (not just by Chrysler, either). A lot of the
problems were
in the blue/black colors, although other colors are problematic.
It is my understanding that the primer changes of the early 90's
have been corrected.
If I really clean/glaze my dak, I see the same swirls in the
sunlight.
I have not had the truck buff'd. It came from the factory that
way.
I'm not sure if its a problem, or if it is indicative of the
pearl
coat. Comments?
