I screwed up my wax towels by washing them with the microfiber t0wels I clean interiors with,I use cheap ones anyhow but try to keep them seperate to get the most mileage out of them I can. I always have new ones folded up in the bottom drawer of my toolbox and a couple of good ones I keep in...

same here,,for cutting out wetsanding wool is the way to go,,I follow up up with either a foam pad on the rotary or grab the orbital,,,,or both,,depnds on the color and how much area I am working with. I have found that the LC orange pads on the orbital,on speed 6 will work good on small areas...

They are very nice people and they are pretty good to work,,it has ups and downs like any other job but the pluses outweigh the minus' for the most part,they pretty much just let me have the run of the detail shop as long as I don't go to crazy with spending. I am more native to the Whitehall...

I would for sure get a second opinion at a body shop,,I would say paint is blistering perhaps a chemical reaction under the primer even or pinhole rust popping up but really who knows,,have someone look at it in person.

Like has been said,,it takes years to perfect,,we have some PDR tools around the shop and have dinked around on backrow beaters but I would never even think about attempting it on a customer car. The guy we sub it out to is OK,I've seen better.,,,one guy I know says it nots not only knowing how...

That's pretty cool,I see some guys clearcoating over the patina which I think is cool as well

I looked at it on the big screen and still think it may be envirometal damge ,,just not what I stated before. It could possibly be from what I call fallout,,usually from foundries and such.I've seen it leave little poc marks on the surface like this after it has been removed . This stuff can...

Looks like environmental damage to me ,maybe a waterspot acid etch or burnt in water spots,most of the GM paint flaws I've seen in the last 15 to 20 years resemble this.
