hi (help pls)

[corsad]

hello everyone.

i am desperate for your help.

my black car has been covered with small paint droplets. it feels harsh to the touch.

i tried lots of products (by hand), among which megs scratch x and clearcoat prep but to no avail. the only thing which seems to work is rexin, but i spent almost an hour on a 15cm section.

thanks a million!

Are you able to find any detailing clay there?

It would be called the Meguiars Smooth Surface Clay kit, though other companies make some also.

That is what claying is for, removing bonded contaminants. It may or may not work , but it is certainly something you should try. There are different grades of clay with the Smooth Surface Clay being the mildest.

Welcome to MOL!

I recommend the Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit. And the Meguiar's Deep Crystal Paint Cleaner. They both work great

Re: hi (help pls)

Good work.

Remeber to do you glass as well, and you can also clay the rims if you use an old piece. (Make sure it is an old piece, dont re-use it on your paint after being on the wheels.)
