Chips in the clear coat on a carbon frame
 
What do you guys use to touch up the clear coat? I have some chips that almost reach down to the carbon.

Sodium hydroxide?

I do nothing. Clear coat is cosmetic. Exposed carbon will be fine.

Yeah, I just didn't want the clear coat to KEEP chipping. That's all. I noticed the chip getting bigger over time.
