Newbie From PA

[nike001]

Hi all, I've been lurking around here for a while and just now made an account.

I've started off with a Porter Cable and a variety of pads along with M105 & M205. One of my main objects are to get out a certain 'cloudiness' out of my paint on the hood of my 2004 BMW 330i that seems to be lightly spotting my hood. It's difficult to see unless under very good sunlight & good angle (usually getting low & even with the paint)

Are there any good tricks on how to get this out? It's very bothersome, since I like everything to be near perfect. I'm praying that it's nothing with my clear-coat.. and that I'm not harming my clear-coat by doing anything else to it.

Thanks for any help!

Sometimes cloudiness can be an indicator of very early stages of CC failure...or "crows feet" if you have those. Give the 105/205 a try and see what happens. Could be oxidation too. Pics would really help MOL folks give you an ID of what it is.

I'm not sure if it is clear-coat failure. I kinda hate to say it, but I noticed most of it after using M105 a few months back. I've already tried using 105 & 205 today and they didn't yield any results. I'll try snapping a picture now.

You kinda have to move around in front of the screen to see it. It just looks dirty (and it isn't) It was washed, clayed, and washed again last night
