1963 Nova, original paint

[76scirocco]

Wondering if there's anything that can help with these "spotches", that are in these pictures. I've washed, clayed, cleaned, polished and waxes, all using Mequiars products. I'ver used Gold class wash, Painter cleaner#1, Deep Crystal polish (2), NXT wax, then we use Last Touch Detailer spray for maintenance

Nice car first of all, and second, what is that from? it looks like its coming from the gas cap??

Yeah, that second picture is from the gas spilling. It was that way when we bought the car. I know that there may not be a fix for that, here'sanother picture

I'd bet you a pack of chewing gum that isn't OEM paint.

Re: 1963 Nova, original paint

I agree with everyone else, M105 should most likely do the trick

Here is what I would do

1-make sure you fix the leaking problem first, new gas cap, etc....

2- take a paint thinkness reading, record the reading

3- use you polish of choice, something with some bit will be beneficial, wool pad rotary.

4- I have a feeling that will not work by its self and some color sanding will be in order

5- sand (don't exceed max material removal) and polish again. Possibly 105, followed by 205.

What you wil be left at this point is the paint at its maximum potential.

If the damage is still there a repaint is in order.
