You have to look at it realistically. Yes there are a ton of people on the forums that will do a pretty correction detail and document it and so forth. There are also businesses that can provide that kind of quality work. You have to understand that good work requires lots of time and...

incredible work.

Streaks like that are usually the result of letting the APC sit on the paint too long and/or dry. I'm always cautious about using APC and always pre rinse the car so you're not spraying it on a dry surface. Sucks to see that this happened. Lot of factors could have caused it, dilution too...

That happens alot to LC flat pads after decent amount of use. Looks just like that.

Best advice in this thread. Wool may be overkill unless you are dealing with some trashed paint or extremely hard clearcoat.

Nothing wrong with this video at all. The next step would be to start buffing the car while it's still slick and wet, that way you can just use one pad and go around the entire car in 15 minutes.

From what I have heard, the Rupes pad stops spinning on weird angles. I guess it's ideal on flat panels, but like OP said, the world is not ideal and a good chunk of the panels will not be flat. Flex, I don't care how much you abuse it, will not stop rotating so you know you are getting the full...

the can of spar i have is also gold/brown in color

Pressure rinse the car and jambs. Dry with leaf blower. Rub tire shine on the tires.

Just take it to the guy across the street that does a full interior + exterior wash/clay/polish/wax all for $24.99

Iron X, Zep Purple, Sonax FE, Megs Wheel Brightener all smell like they can cause some harm if inhaled.

That looks great.

Lol so now I don't have to smuggle this stuff across the border. Great success! Love this clay.

Does Meguiars Gold Class have any degreasers in it or anything that will shorten the life of a coating like Opti-Coat 2.0/Opti-Coat Pro or C- Quartz Finest?

Sorry to hear about this and your friend. I don't know of any reputable shop that can repaint a bumper properly for anywhere near $100. Cost of good paint will be more than that.

Wow that paint just glows! Always been a fan of any kind of Z06.

I love 476. If put on thin it's actually not too bad to remove.

Careful in that case. Clearcoat is thinner than you think.Sand too much and it's game over. But seeing how bad the etching is and how large of an area it covers on the hood, I'd say a repaint is needed so at this point you might as well try wetsanding and polishing to see if it makes an...

Can you feel them when you run your fingernail over the area? In that first pic it looks pretty deep.
