You misunderstand. I ask questions so I can understand why and better follow the best advice. Previously, in my mind, if there were a chemical that can remove the stain while minimizing the coating removal and leaving no PPF damage, that would be ideal. I was hoping that this group can help...

Ok that makes sense--to do the least harm. I thought that chemical would be better because there is less rubbing involved than mechanical--whereas I saw polishing as "scratching it off", the chemical would be "dissolving it off". Is there a polish you would recommend, keeping in mind that 1)...

@TGates-- I came upon your post from researching my own experience. Here is the thread: Request: Advice on removing road acquired spots off of ceramic/PPF For me, there is no crater and the coating on top of the PPF is very smooth after the visible stuff was removed. However, they persist...

Sorry, I don't follow. I can wipe it right off with Goof Off. It does take a part of the ceramic coating with it, but the mark goes away completely. If you mean air or water underneath the PPF, it is not, as I am quite familiar with what they look like. As I have written above, after the...

I'm pretty sure it's not the slip solution because after the PPF and coating, I went through the car with UV and they were not there. Also, they originated from the surface--visible to the eye. After cleaning what looked like bird dropping or some sort of fallout, I used UV to see if the...

The surface is perfectly smooth. I did spot-try clay, but it made no difference. I tried heat too, nothing. So far, waterless detailer, soap, IPA, Goo Gone, Simple Green, Vinegar 50/50 have not worked. I tried Goof Off on one of the spots. It did work, but it also removed the UV reactivity...

Thanks. The spots were from a drive yesterday and I saw them last night, so within 10 hours. They are no longer visible to the naked eye--only fluoresce under UV. I'm not sure if I can capture that on a camera but I will try later. I have ceramic coating on top off PPF so I hope at the most...

I ended up trying 50/50 vinegar and Goo Gone. Neither made a difference. What would fluoresce under UV, sticks to ceramic coating, and is so hard to remove?

That would be my last resort. I was looking for more aggressive cleaners that do not damage the coating or PPF.

I was surprised that it even took effort to wipe off (so it was not visible to the eye). There were bugs and other things that I was able to just wipe off with no effort. The spots were clear with an outline. Some were as large as 1/2" in diameter, so I doubt it's bee. I'm just looking for...

I have PPF and fresh but fully cured Adam's Advanced Graphene coating. After a drive today, I noticed that there were about a dozen spots in front of the car. They do not look like tar. They could be bird dropping but I am not sure. Based on their roundish shape, they were in liquid form when...

Ok, you guys talked me into getting dedicated product. Thanks!

Before someone gets upset, I am doing this only once--I need to prep the paint for PPF or ceramic coating. Will do an IPA rubdown after the wash. None of my car shampoos are strippers :-/ Just curious how much dish soap to use for a pressure washer foam cannon. Thanks.

I found many YouTube videos on both heat guns with polycarbonate/Lexan and vapor polishing. Amazing results if done right.

After more research, I found people using heat guns to remove scratches, as well as a "vapor polishing" method. Interesting stuff...

Thanks for the advice. Too late now. I was trying to fix some scuffs and minor scratches on an otherwise pristine headlight. I thought these lights are Lexan or similar and there is no coating? Lol, yea, my wife confirmed my mental illness and she's a professional in this field. Worse, I...

Thank you both for the reply and welcome. I should provide a little more background on my issue: These are brand new headlights, but had some scuffs and fine scratches. The areas that are not scuffed look perfect from any angle and when light is on--there is no spiderweb/swirl marks and no...

I am requesting help with removing very fine scratches on specific sections of my headlight lens. Otherwise crystal clear and no surface scratches at all, but on specific sections of the headlight, there are scratches that are only visible at the right angle and under the right lighting...
