So here's a pic of the paint on this project. As you can see, there is a major blemish (a wrinkled, raised crater about the size of a pencil eraser that I think is from bird poo) that I posted about in another thread. Obviously, there are many swirls that need attention.

Thank you, Mike for those helpful pics and link. After looking closely again I'm not sure what kind of blemish this is, but here's another pic I took last night that is a little better. Any advise? Should I just work on this with light compound and give up if it doesn't get anywhere? Don't...

So do you think the Paint Prep will be OK over the Dr. CC spots after a week of curing? Thanks my only concern. Thanks again, Eric! I do intend to do those spots by hand.

No worries - Ray Kennett is a body shop guy (BTO Autoworks) who does restorations in Poughkeepsie and has been great to work with. Thought maybe there was a connection. Anyway, one last question: If I do the Paint Guard after 1 week of letting the Dr. CC cure, do you think I will need to do the...

Excellent and thank you! BTW, do you have any relation to Ray Kennett?

In Kerhonkson, Ulster County - not too far!

Thanks for the reply Eric! I'm in Kerhonkson, Ulster County, so not too far away. I really appreciate your offer for help. My wife has the car at work so I'll try and get some pics up later tonight or tomorrow. I'll be using a GG 6" orbital with a Sonus SFX-3 Orange pad (as recommended by...

Thank you! I see that the lonely stepchild was left out again, heh!

Thanks, my suspicion is that it is a bird etching as well. I'm thinking I might try compound polishing it and see what happens. Eventually I'll be sealing with Ultima Paint Protection Plus. I also have a Dr. ColorChip kit that I'll be using on some paint chips. If the compound doesn't help...

Over the summer this blemish appeared on the hood of my wife's car. Sorry for the bad pic but it is the best I could do. It looks like something ate through the clear coat (but not the paint) and is shaped like a small, raised crater about the size of a pencil eraser. What is this and how can...

Good morning, Longtime reader, novice detailer, new poster. After much research, I'm planning on using the Ultima system (Elastrofoam cleaner, Paint Prep, Paint Guard) and possibly some compound polishing on a Brilliant Black Audi A5 to ready her for winter (the car is a daily driver). I also...

Just wanted to drop by and say hello. This forum has been very helpful to me as a detailing novice. Getting ready to do my first big job soon (Ultima system and Dr. ColorChip) and getting as much information as possible. Most of the love goes to my wife's Brilliant Black 2013 Audi A5 and my...
