  • Most ideal actions to deal with "punctured" NXT layers

    One of the most frustrating things to happen to a newly waxed car is when you are following a loaded truck spilling out small pieces of gravel, or merely following another car which is kicking up fine pebbles. These hit the bonnet and rightfully so, the NXT layers I have play the sacrificial barrier to protect the paint. However, most times these "puntures" the NXT layer and leaves minor whitish specks on the paint. Had to go through the whole process of cleaning the paint again, polishing and waxing and this works absolutely well.

    Though these specks may be very inevident to most people after giving the car a good wash, it sticks out for the detailing fanatics. Any ideas to deal with this when the car was just waxed without having to go through the whole clean-polish-wax procedure?

    S60slipstream, to Meguiar's Online Forum. Having being hit by the sand or small stones by the front vehicle is a very daunting experience. You're right, sometimes the sand/stone will leave some ugly whitish mark on the bonnet paintwork, and it's real annoying on freshly detailed car. My advice is to do spot repair by using Scratch-X on affected areas, and seal it again with a coat of NXT Tech Wax. Sometimes if the speckle is not serious, by merely using NXT TW, I could remove it instantly, thanks to its special abrasive content.

    Best way is to keep a distance of 50-100m from the vehicle in front, especially lorries and buses. Try avoid using LDP highway as well.

    Hope this helps.
