so my sister washed my car..

AK370Z

Guys, please stop responding in such manner. This is THE370Z not my350 or other Z forum. Just because OP mentioned his sister, there's no need to get all "off topic" about it. HE posted a legitimate question and he should get legitimate answer without being ridiculed (at least that's how I feel). I'm sure you guys don't want others to talk about your sister in such manner so, it's only fair NOT to talk about others . Thank you for understanding

As for the OP, i'm not the most knowledgable person when it comes to detailing HOWEVER, there are these two sticky that you can look over (especially the junkman's)

Thanks for the props AK.

Yes, this damage can be repaired using a PC-7424XP and the proper polishes. You are not the first person to experience this exact issue as I have seen wives who wanted to surprise their husbands by washing their cars with the same sponge. Here's some pictures from the same situation, although this lady used a Brillo pad.


2005 Ford Mustang with Brillo Pad Damage

This guy's wife wanted to surprise him by washing his car while he was away on business. She used a Brillo Pad because she really wanted to get it clean. She had no idea of how bad she was damaging the car until she got all the way from one side of the hood to the other side. Needless to say, he was crushed!


Here's the damage:


















Now for some after shots. The lighting wasn't all that great so I did the best I could with the first set of pictures. The sun decided to come out on the following day.







Here's what I used: Clayed with clay bar and detail spray, then I went to the Adam's Swirl & Haze Remover on a orange pad, followed by the Adam's Fine Machine Polish on a white pad. I then added my wax. I wiped the area down with detail spray before moving between each product. The following day allowed me to pull the car out into the sun and tackle the other half of the hood.This was a shot of the other side of the hood before I fixed it.





Here's a shot of the rest of the hood fixed.








Now at first glance, this sounds confusing, especially to someone who has never done this before. However, the second section of videos that AK linked to explains this in a simple to understand format. I highly suggest you watch them.
