Thanks guys. Ill give these tips a go. 👍👍

Hey guys, I recently used nattys white on my black car after a full detail (wash, ironx, clay, correction, ipa wipedown) let it dry to a "haze" and buffed off with a 600gsm microfibre towel. I noticed it left streaks that were not visible in direct sunlight but were visible with my defect...

You can probably skip collinite 845 all together and just use the optimum wax weekly to be honest. And try and clean off those bird bombs asap. What I do is I keep a quick detailer in the car with a MF towel just in case. :) I use ONR and a quick detailer just so you know.

Like LSN mentioned, your paint is probably very soft. Use a black finishing pad with the 205 and water it down as LSN mentioned. If that still doesnt work try out a bottle of menzerna 3500 or 3800 with a black pad. I recently had an issue with very soft paint on my black car and found that the...

Was it a test using collinite 915 by any chance?? -James

I read a forum post a while back where a test on layering was dont with collinite915. From memory a the second layer added less than half of what the first layer did. The third layer added a fraction of what the second coat did. The fourth layer actually removed a significant chunk of the...

As other posters have mentioned use 845 and any other collinite waxes THINLY. In the past I had a lot of issues with collinite waxes with rehazing and oily holograms in the paintwork on my black car, one solution to get it thin is to wet your applicator with a couple of spritzes of distilled...

Hmmm yeah thats what I was thinking too. I just find it strange that they mention it for some waxes and not others. -James

Good morning everyone from sunny Australia, When it comes to the detailing products I use, I always like having a quick read of their corresponding MSDS. I'm big on safety and working with these sort of chemicals compels me to take reasonable precautions (gloves, working in a well ventilated...

Nah, no offence taken mate your suggestion solved my issue. :) We do have a few suppliers here that can get products that PBMG stock. I went with Menzerna as the supplier had a shopfront that was close to my home. For some reason I cant find a supplier for SF3800, even on the Menserna Australia...

UPDATE: I decided to start my testing with Menzerna SF3500 since it was a product I could get my hands on quickly. Just as soon as my search began it finished. 3500 finished BRILLIANTLY on the paint with zero marring using a LC CCS black finishing pad. From what I have read, 3500 uses...

If only the name of a product was the same across the board !:p I will most likely install a coating in the next 2 months or so. Probably CQuartz. :)

I would definitely wash it. Who knows what abrasive crud the water couldve carried with it. -James

Great! Thanks for that! Ill be sure to give those techniques a go. If they dont work then Im considering buying either HD polish+ as Finick suggested or menzerna 3500. Anyone tried the menserna polish on soft paint? Ive read it works well. -James

Its annoying considering Ive had great luck on other cars ! :P In regards to the products you mentioned, did you inspect the finish after it was wiped down with IPA or another oil removing solvent to make sure said oils werent masking the potential hazing?? -James
