what is hazy look like?

If A is the cross section of the paint of swirl, B is scratch, Hazy should look like C or D, or both are wrong?

Re: what is hazy look like?

Haze can be caused by a number of things besides physical scratches and when it is caused by swirls and scratching it can be shallow or very deep.

Are you talking about micro-marring? Micro-marring is haze but we would define micro-marring as very light or shallow swirls and scratches.

Hi Mike,
My hood has a large amount of micro-marring on its clear coat.
I work by hand,would Scrathx or Colorx be more effective.
Thanks

Between ScratchX and ColorX, ScratchX is the stronger cleaner. So for removing swirls/hazing/etching (all of which are effetively the same thing) ScratchX is going to be better by hand.

Thanks Murr,I always thought so until i saw the thread in Marine & RV(Kayak).Colorx did some miracles by hand on a Plymouth 1947,i guess that vehicle has no clear coat on and that Colorx was the right product for it.

Re: what is hazy look like?

ColorX is very good, no doubt about it. But with a clearcoat (often harder than a SS paint), you would likely need more applications of ColorX than you would ScratchX. Bit milder product, plus the wax/polish ingrediants, so it is just going to take longer unless you used a machine.

Re: what is hazy look like?

When would you put on the ColorX? LSP or after a polish or before a WAX?

In the Marine & UV thread Mike shows a Plymouth 1947 the vehicle had large amount of swirls on it .It was all removed by hand using Colorx.As LSP NXT was applied ,amazing results.

Re: what is hazy look like?

ColorX contains wax, so it could be your LSP. But since Meguiars recomends 2 coats of wax, many people (myself included) will top ColorX or other cleaner/waxes with a coat of a regular wax if they have time.

Re: what is hazy look like?

Ive used Color-x before and it seemed to do a great job at cleaning the paint. Im not saying it removed swirls, just was a good cleaner.

It didnt last very long at all though. Topping it with another wax is a good idea.
