Try not to feel so bad brother. We all make mistakes. I burned the paint on my neighbor's Cadillac! A trip to the body shop fixed it pronto. He will never let me live that down as long as I live :)

You QD every single day Rsurfer? Then i guess you would know QD's. I'll save myself some time and money and just ask you which one is the best and easiest to use? Mark I'll go out on a limb here and assume there is no smoking in your car :)

PB2.5 followed by PB1 has worked for me, but you have to work them both very slowly. Even then it was an enormous amount of work.

Roger that thanks for the information. I've used lots of different clays. Some of them will pull off even the worst crap build up. I may not be the sharpest pin in the box, but why would you need to use clay on a well kept car?

I agree 100% I've tried a lot of products and the Wolfgang line is hard to beat. Right now you can get the TSR and FG combo for like $40 an absolute steal. Their FG is truly an amazing product.

Some time ago I bought Pinnacle clays on BOGO. I used it today to get some tar-gunk off of a 2010 Tundra. I have to say I was not impressed. It took quite a bit of rubbing and lubricant for it to work. Is this a very very mild clay or what? Mark

Looks outstanding! (I Love Cats --- Dead Ones).

Full strip and respray...there was nothing else that could be done. He might be home today I'll see if I can snap a few pics.

You'll never believe this...my pal down the street has a black BMW convertible the same year as yours. He's had it for years and takes very good care of it. About six months ago it started to do the exact same thing. I referred him to an auto paint specialist. Mr. Phillips is right to the...

You won't fix this by hand or with an orbital brother. Find someone who knows what they're doing with a rotary, pay them, and be done with it.

If you decide to fool with it, use extreme caution with the vaccum. Only do it in a well ventilated area. I know you're not retarded or anything, I just wanted to make sure you don't get your head blown off from a vaccum spark.

I use the "quick-connect" system. The pads have two sides. You know, you use one side of the pads then flip them over. I assume they are clean. I use the small packets of pad-cleaner that AG sells. They seem to do a great job.
