Have a black '11 MDX with repainted panels onthe passenger side, but didn't realize it when I bought it. Car was in reallybad shape and looked like someone had taken the automatic car wash broom andraked it over the entire car. Being WAY off the OCD spectrum I made thedecision to DA the car myself so I'd have that knowledge in the future. I had buffedboats with a Makita rotary and even wetsanded gelcoat from 400 up to 3000, butI had never had the courage to tackle a car with clearcoat. Since this car hashad a rough life I figured it would be fun to experiment. I used a Griot's DAwith Meguiar's 105 & 205. I noticed a haziness on some panels and thenlearned about DA haze on soft paint. I then learned about dropping from MFfinishing pads to foam. Then I learned about 302(16) designed specifically forDA haze removal. Worked great until the first car wash when the hazereappeared. DA'd again with 302, thinking that I didn't get the haze out andthe fillers in the wax were disguising it, but got the same result. Consultedwith my local Mirror Glaze guy of 40 yrs and he suggested re-doing the 205step, which only turned the black more dull. After working with my patientMirror Glaze guy he said my problem was beyond his ability. He sent me to adetailing pro in our area with 30 yrs of experience. He DA'd my door with 300and then 301. Little concerned that 301 said "finish wax", but heensured me that it wasn't temporary. Washed the car and the haze on that doorcame back. The fillers in the wax must have temporarily hidden the haze.Finally realizing which panels had been repainted, I reached out to MikePhillips at Autogeek. He quickly tipped me off to Pinnacle products. Tried thatand it worked GREAT to remove every last little sign of tool marks on the softpaint both in sunlight and under CFL. Sealed everything with Meguiar’s #26 anddrove the car lightly for a week. At the end of the week it was covered in dustso I hosed it down to remove anything loose. No dirt or bird poop, literallyjust dust. Got out my microfiber mitt and bucket and soaped the car gently inthe shade, making sure to keep each panel wet during the process. I dried onepanel and about fell on the ground when I saw what looked like haze again. Ipulled the car in the garage and turned on the CFL only to find it wasn't DAhaze, but thousands of hairline scratches going in the same direction I soaped.The obvious answer would be that the mitt was dirty or that the bucket haddebris in it, but both were practically brand new. I mist & wipe theinterior of the bucket with an MF before every use. The mitt is blown out witha hose constantly during the wash process and wrung out about 6 times andcarefully hung out to dry in a cabinet. After $150 for the DA, and about $50per bottle (105, 205, 302, 301 & Pinnacle), 5 MF and foam pads, two 30packs of MF towels, 5 bottles of Mist & Wipe and 3 weeks of work...I'M AT ATOTAL LOSS! I know the repaint was bad because I found several drips, rolls andinconsistent patches of metallic flakes, but could it be SO soft that I can'teven wash the car without scratching it?
