Detailing with minor paint defects

[wildcountryrose]

Should I use the UC or M205 with DA polisher?...I am going to clay to remove contaminants first.

Always start with the least aggressive materials. Use the 205 1st. If it doesn't work step up to the UC followed by 205.

Good luck.

Just need a test spot with the 205. Dont do the whole car, then see if it was enough or not.

+2. There is great value in doing a test spot first.

Since we can't see the car there is no way to recommend a specific product to use. Hardness of paint, level of defects, desired result, skill level of operator - these all play a role in the final outcome of the project.

If you have never worked on this particular vehicle, definitely do a test spot with the less aggressive of the products you have on hand and see what that tells you. If it takes care of the defects then you know you're good to go - if not, you may need to give a second pass of the same product/process, take a more aggressive approach with the same product, or step up to a more aggressive product.
