  • New Honda ... Black Paint needs work

    I purshased a new Honda Accord in August. When the dealer washed the car they left water or soap spots on it, I could not tell which. I could not get them off; so, I took the car back to the dealer and told them to fix it.
    They sent it to a "body shop" where some lovely swirl marks were added. Let me spare you the rest of the details...

    I need to remove the swirls and bring the paint to a level more befitting a new car. I always hand wash with Gold Class car wash. I was thinking of claying the car and then trying to remove the swirls. Then following up with Gold Class wax.

    What would you recommend to remove them Scratch X - or - Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner followed by Deep Crystal Polish. The swirls do not appear to be very deep but they are on almost every surface of the car. I do not own a buffer, nor am I experienced enough to use one, so I will handle all by hand. I appreciate any recommendations.

    You are on the right track with the ScratchX. Lemme give you a few links to read over so you get the full process.

    I'll also throw on some ones for working by G-100. It is actualy quite safe if you feel like spending the money to invest in it.
