Help!!!
I tried searching for this, but all i can find is help with water marks. I have a magnetic black z and while at family's for thanksgiving, i attempted to do a little detailing.
The nose of my car has some spots that appear to be slight rough areas or possibly scratches? in the clear coat. So, i used what was available that my father had in his garage. I used Toyo Guard Sealant Cleaner on one of these small spots. What resulted is what looks like a cloudy area on the spot i put it on...and it won't come off no matter how much i try to buff it out. How do i get rid of it? What product will help me? Should i try one of those color restoring products? If so which one? It just seems the Toyo Guard reacted to the clear coat in some way. I was going to take a pic, but the camera can't seem to see it because, although it is a cloudy spot, it is still a reflective surface. But with they eye, some you either see it a tiny bit, and other angles it's like a huge spot. |
slight rough spot? try clay bar first... after that try some other polishes
|
as you can tell, i'm not a detailing expert....will clay bar correct the problem i created? Also, i thought clay bar was to remove hard to remove dirt?
|
Most likely it created small scratches to your paint like a swirl and haze remover would. What you need is a fine polish to clear it back up again. I use the stuff from Adams, but other quality brands will work just as well. Clay bar will only remove any contaminants, so I would do that first anyways.
|
and a polish is different than a wax yea? So like, Adams Fine Polish (if there is such a thing)?
|
Most likely you hazed the paint, just need to polish/buff it back to a shine.
Just to be sure, first get some water with a lot of dishwasher soap and clean it. It might just be residue.... |

Doing it by hand is for the birds. You need to invest in a PC. These videos will explain to you the safety in doing so. It's not as complicated as you think it is when you are armed with the right information. |

If you get some good polish there is no need for a pc.
Sure if you do whole cars and do it often, but to fix this one spot a little elbow grease goes a long way. |

Adams or Detailers Domain has a 4" focus pad kit available that will work if you dont want to shell out the cash for a PC. Just be carefull since it is essential a rotary polisher.

But I agree that there is no comparing doing it by hand vs machine, I only do things like the inside of door handles by hand. :tup: |

If its a bump/etching/rough spot. On the nose odds are its bug guts that sat on the nose and ate through some clear coat i bet. It does not take long for bug guts to leave marks and ruin the surface on my black car.
That or rock chips? |
