Damn.. hazing with Meguiars WB

[tianh]

Accidentally used some on a polished lip and left the lip real hazy, not to mention it was out in the sun.

Now the lip is real hazy like the solution dried onto the lip but wont come off, i tried spraying some detail spray and wiping with a MF cloth, but still hazy.

How would I fix this? And if anyone can recommend me a more versatile wheel cleaner I can buy by the gallon thatd be great.. I totally forgot MB shouldnt be used on a polished lip!




on a side note, how should i dilute dawn solution in my 5 gallon bucket and throw all my towels in?

You just need to re polish them when a metal polish or if you any type of polish for that matter.

For a cheap safe wheel cleaner on all finishes, Griots wheel cleaner is a good alternative to p21s/sonax. Griots also has a new HD version recently released. I personally like AG CWC.

Dont know about dawn as I dont use it to clean microfibers. Instead I use Zep citrus degreaser and put 3oz in 3-4 gallons and soak my MF and pads in there.

Thanks!

Dammnit, I was in such a rush today, I totally forgot about WB... What if I just got some cleaner wax and buffed the lip with a MF towel? Or would I be better off using Brasso


Thanks for the hint with the zep degreaser, a much better solution I think to Dawn.

The problem is when using WB on rims like that is it actually pulls the oils out of the metal. Megs #7 usually fixes this easily as it has a lot of oils in it to restore the look. But generally any metal polish will help bring it back.

You think a bottle of:
*meguairs cleaner wax*

would work? I have a small sample bottle of it at home.


Yeah I hope I didn't damage it permanently or anything



Would Brasso work? I only say that because shipping would kill me to order just one bottle of Megs #7





DAMN YOU WBBBBB

You think a bottle of:

Amazon.com: Meguiar's A1216 Car Cleaner/Liquid Wax. 16 oz.: Automotive

would work?

#7 can usually be found in any parts store. Autozone and advanced both have it where I live. If you have a metal polish on hand, just try that b4 u go out and buy something else. Try the megs cleaner wax. Won't hurt it anymore.

personally i dont think cleaner wax will do it, you probably need something a little abrasive. id try some ultimate compound, its over the counter, you can buy it at any autoparts store.

Oh okay will do, could I apply it and buff it off with the costco yellow towels, or would that scratch the lip?

Yea Brasso should work as it is a metal polish. You could also give Megs cleaner wax a try since I dont think anybody know is if it will work or not.

 

[Dr Oldz]

I never used those towels. So I can't comment on those. Sorry
