Re: Clay Bar question

The clay wont go though the paint. You may have had something blue on it, or a single stage part?

What parts are rough?

Re: Clay Bar question

my hood is the roughest part rest of the car is fine

Re: Clay Bar question

Most likely oxidised paint causing the roughness. Blue could be anything but most likely old polish/wax.

Re: Clay Bar question

i waxed it often but in the past yr maybe once or twice . how can i fix the oxidation?

Re: Clay Bar question

Oxidized clear coat would still be clear/white.

Do you know anything about it being ss stage, or repaired at all? any chance of pics?

Re: Clay Bar question

The hood was probably resprayed or touched up without a clear coat on top.
