Is the double clear coat realy necessary for the fear of not polishing through to the base coat?

Thanks for any advice

Most paint experts we have talked to do NOT recommend double clear coat. The thought is too much mil thickness opens the chance for both some discoloration and that the increased thickness actually makes chipping more likely. If you properly take care of the paint, there is no need for multiple clear coat cutting. Ask around at some high-end paint shops and get their opinion.
