I washed it with 1 gal water and 1 cup vinegar. Kind of weird washing it was no so. It doesn't look any different but I feel better that the pH is normal now.2015 Toyota Corolla S Plus in Barcelona Red MetallicComment

Re: UQD left some wicked spots all over my car..
I have taken my car to get looked at by my detailer and I am freaking out because even he is not sure if it'll come out.
He just doesn't sound too confident about it.2015 Toyota Corolla S Plus in Barcelona Red MetallicComment

Re: UQD left some wicked spots all over my car..
I would recommend you try it on a very small area. If it works, you just saved yourself a lot of money.
From the photos it sure looks like UC will knock that out.Comment

Re: UQD left some wicked spots all over my car..
I have to agree with Mr. Stoops as the pictures look like clear coat etching from the cement bonding with the paint's surface. For example, if you mix quickcrete in a buck and place you hand/arm in it ( I do not recommend this!), there will be a dermal abrasion and redness of the skin as the concrete is "bonding" with your skin. It will come off, and depending on the cure time/dwell time that you let the concrete stay in contact with you skin will depend on how much force is needed to remove it and how much skin redness there is. With that said, definitely try Ultimate Compound (UC) by hand. I have a feeling that a microfiber disc (DAMF) and UC will work quite well but only a test will reveal the results. Good luck.Comment

Re: UQD left some wicked spots all over my car..
I would clay bar that, compound it, polish it, wax it, and enjoy the shine! I got caught behind a concrete truck that had some sort of spray coming off of it. Afterwards, when I got home, I found dried concrete spots all over my beautiful black paint. I thought it was water spots at first. I did the steps I already mentioned and the paint returned to brilliant!2014 Mustang GT 6-Speed ManualComment

Re: UQD left some wicked spots all over my car..
I agree with all the advice, Agent 99. The guys above have explained several ways. Those are water spots and/or residue from the original issue. It really doesn't matter at this point, because based on what you've tried, you essentially have no real protection or finish left. You cannot fix this with spray products. You must fully correct the paint and create a true finish, either by hand or by machine, doing it yourself or paying a pro, and that means carefully claying, compounding, polishing and waxing. At that point, you will be blown away by the results
You will THEN use spray products on a daily basis to maintain that correction for weeks, months, or as long as possible, depending on weather and other factors. When it seems your finish is requiring more work to maintain or doesn't have the same luster, you then can usually do the wax step alone to restore it and start the clock again on maintaining the corrected finish.

Me, I would find out what company the guy using the concrete saw worked for and then hand it all over to my Insurance Company to deal with.Comment
