Gang,
Firstly thank you for having me in this forum ...I need to ask a question about todays car painting practices as I bought my first car way back in 1964 and haven't car painting practices, changed...I'm still pretty fit for my age and last week bought a new Honda CRV and as I left the dealer, I asked him, if the car had been detailed?...He said no, but, it has been washed, as it had just arrived of the ship a week before!.. So, I carefully washed , chamoised and buffed as much off the exterior as I could and applied, a ceramic coating...Thinking this is going look great and at your age, outlast you!!... I approached this very carefully by hand and it took me 9 hours to complete, as it was my intention, for the car, not to move for at least 3 days but it ended up being 8 days, before it was driven out of the garage...
I have noticed blemishers in about 5 places, which look like a "Smudge or cloud, shining through, onto, a shiny paint work but they are not clouds" and its' not so much damn right awful, as annoying...I followed up with the manufacturer about this and they were very , very good with a response and told me, to use a "Cutting Compound"?...Well, as I said, the paintwork is new and I being a novice, wouldn't like to remove down to the clear cote, as well as I probably wouldn't know anyhow or what I'm looking for?!!...It's not the ceramic guys fault, its' mine, but, I'm unsure about the cutting compound?.. The colour is a dark exterior " Cosmic Blue _ wife had to have it_ give me Red" which at different angles, looks, like a deep grey and or, nearly black...I have tried to remove one "1" spot / smudge and well, it's still there... I used "Nu-Finish Scratch Doctor" referred to me by someone else... At a loss here gang and I my life won't be worth living around my wife, if I don't fix, this brand new car... It had 53ks on it, when I got it home...
Long winded I now but, I've used Maguaris on previous cars I owned and always had a bloody good run...Any help would be greatly appreciated or I may as well go and jump off the nearest, cliff, now!!...I'm sorry, it won't let me load a couple of images?...
Regards
