Thanks for the input everyone, while I am not sure if its clear coat failing or "solvent pop" in the base coat I am sure the problem won't go away. I went ahead with the correction as planned and happy with the results however not perfect, I coated it and will figure out the best course of...

Yea I'm torn with this dilemma I'm going to do the entire hood tomorrow in fg400 and finish it with white with 4000 and check the correction after sipping down the panel with some coating prep to see how noticeable the dots are. If I can get away with it for a year or two, it'll be worth putting...

I was thinking the same thing, I'm potentially going to get a quote for paint on the hood and just put off correcting till I do so that way it'll be worthwhile. Anyone know if you can use these coatings right after paint or does an outgassing rule still apply?

The clear bra was removed last year after purchasing the car and had swirls underneath it already. The condition under my LED light definitely looked like it warranted the orange pad and fg400, I only have the fg 400,2500 and 4000 on hand. The only spots like this are on the hood, it starts...

There was a clear bra on the car previously that's the only thing I could think of that could of caused some reaction? The FG400 helped the swirls, but idk if it helped the pin holes or back I removed some issues it just made the pin holes more visible..if that makes sense. Also discolored...

Hey guys so I'm correcting my car it's a 2013 Audi s5 (brilliant black), I was doing a test spot (see below) with fg400 and an orange pad, about 5 passes and this is what I'm left with. 80% or so "corrected" but these little pin holes are left. I'm 99% sure its start of clear coating failing...

I thought I read this wasn't good for coatings? I could totally be making that up though, I'll look into it again, thank you.

So a few weeks ago I was in a situation where I had to wash my car at a spray wash but couldn't dry it, so I ended up spraying it down and just letting the water bead off after some spirited driving. Well, I went to wash it today and see that there are some water spots I expected this, but...

Has anyone successfully used the nano and glide? I bought the glide thinking it with mate together perfectly with the nano. Bottle says dilute 7:1 has anyone had a better ratio to minimize marring? Granted my car is not bad at all but still want to prevent the marring if I could.

I planned to do the m105 but I planned to finish with Menzerna 2500 or the 4000 I have. I was going to use a microfiber for the door handle pockets but was considering using a pad for the door jams. After checking my jambs I think I'll use a microfiber with m105, then go and finish with a foam...

I guess I was just trying to get confirmation before I spent more money haha. At least I know my technique is correct just need something more abrasive. I'll get the 8oz bottle of some m105 because I'm sure I'll need it on an orange or white pad because I have a lot of maring on my inside door...

Thanks I think I might have to add another product to the collection : ). I tried this and it didn't help, which made me think picking scratch x again wouldn't work either. I wish I thought of this before I just placed my $200 order and thought I would be good for a bit haha. Maybe I can...

I was hoping to avoid another product only because it seems that I will only need it for behind the door handles AND possibly my door jams, but I haven't tested that yet. I might have to wait a few weeks till I order some more supplies in order to keep my shipping costs low if I go with the...

So I have some scratches behind the door handle that I can't see to correct. I have searched the forum and I have seen people using small pads/microfibers and a combination of corrective polishes. I assumed the Menzerna 2500 would take care of it with a microfiber but it doesn't seem to be doing...

I just wanted to thank everyone who helped me, I got all my wonderful stuff in today :xyxthumbs: . Since some of my car was painted and some wasnt this is the steps I am going to follow first. Wash car Clay parts of car that wasn't just painted Attempt two test spots with Menzerna 4000 via...
