I have a '95 with 125k on the clock and mine still looks near perfect. I never started garaging it until January of this year, and it spent the first 3 years of it's life in the hot Arizona heat rays. And still no problems. Clear coat looks nice still. I always wash it with regular dishsoap that has a teaspoon of non-phosphorous laundry detergent (as a softner) in it. I've only waxed my car like 2 times ever. And I really only wash it like once a month if even that. Maybe that's why the paint looks so good, because I hardly ever touch it (less friction from brushes and towels, less chemicals touch it much less often, etc?). I don't really know if we have acid rain in the PNW? That could be a factor
