It appears that these spots are etched into the paint. Definitely not a rock chip. My guess is as someone mentioned above that it's etched from bird poop.

I looked for a while and there are little to no used RX350's in the Midwest for sale by private parties. There are plenty at dealerships, but all of them wanted a premium especially the certified pre-owned. The ones that were available at the price point I wanted had high miles or were in...

The one thing which I was not able to correct (which I was sure I would not fix), is the defects below. Anyone have any idea what these spots could be from? I have multiple spots on the hood, and a few in other locations as well. This was a Florida car that I just purchased a month ago and...

Thanks again! I finally had a chance yesterday to detail the Lexus, which took me a full part of the day (finished around midnight last night). Wash, clay, correction, and then polish. I ended up using the D300/D301 combvo, and did not have time to put on the Blackfire. The correction did...

I finally had a day open yesterday to go to work on the Lexus. Didn't have to to get a coat of the black fire on, but got it washed, coated, corrected, and polished. Finally wrapped things up around midnight last night.

Thanks everyone, very helpful info here and I greatly appreciate it! I will try the D301 in a test area to see how it turns out and go to the D300 if I fell I need additional correction. I need to take a good close look at the paint tonight to see what how it really looks. Where does a...

Thanks everyone, this info is great and very helpful. The pad was wet the whole time, so I am positive after reading this that I was using way to much product. Hopefully I can do the black Lexus next week when I am off work, that will be the true test. I will post my results back here when I...

Thanks! I think my biggest question was if I can use the D300/301, and then top it with Blackfire. I didn't know if the 301 and the Bladckfire are similar products and I would be wasting my time, or if they might not be compatible. FYI, I don't want to go purchase bunch of other products to...

A few years ago (3-4) I purchased the Meguires DA MF system with a 7424xp, along with a clay kit and some ONR. Over those years young kids have kept me busy and I haven't pulled these products out of the cabinets. We just picked up a new (used) black 2014 Lexus RX 350 and I started looking...

Thanks guys. I was using: BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection This was my practice run on the white 08' Toyota Highlander I am selling. I now have a black 2014 Lexus RX350 F-Sport in the garage so I am reading up to try to figure out what products I should buy/use to do a minor...

New here, but I have been reading a lot of info. Great site you have here with a lot if helpful info! I am just starting to get into detailing and have a questions on cleaning pads. This past weekend I completed my first no rinse wash on one of my vehicles using ONR and then clayed the...
