Yes unfortunately:( What you see is in fact clear coat damage... 1. I let the Sonax residue remover sit forever and then rubbed quite hard on small spots... no change except light scratches from rubbing with the microfiber towel 2. I used a plastic razor blade carefully to see if this might...

Thanks Kaban, but no wash will help... clear coat is damaged / gone...

Sh&%t! guys, there was a spark of hope, but I really messed this up by simply removing the sticker... I used some Sonax glue residue remover and all the gunk came off without any issue... however, the spots I mentioned before are indeed damage to clear... see more pics: ...by...

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ANSWERS. ok, you guys give me some hope, but based on how it looked and felt (with fingernails going over it), I could have SWORN last night there is clear coat damage... also even with quite hard rubbing and scratching with fingernail there was no change to the...

Hi All, I got a 911 993 and as you might know they have these stoneguards (Sticker) on the rear fenders which get brittle after a while... - I removed the old brittle stoneguard stickers, which was a huge pain to do... however after many many hours they were finally off and all glue residue...

As always, thanks a lot for all your input. Very interesting, and it seems that Hyper Polish has an edge :) @WRAPT: simply out of curiousity, have you tried any of the other products listed above? I have Hyper Polish, CarPro Essence and 3800 at home and will do some testing once the weather is...

Hi Community, I’m fully aware of the thousands of posts on topics / products like this, nonetheless, let me try to get some clarity on some specific products and ask for your experiences. I am currently looking into trying the following finishing polishes for my soft clear Porsche. Based on...

Hi all, finally got my paint thickness gauge and measured all over the car. In general, I get about 120 mils on average. Also on the area with the defects highlighted above (most of the defects are on the rear fenders) There are only two areas that differ: - doors: here the reading is a bit...

Hi, I have a DA polisher, went over it with 3 passes, not for a long time, "average speed" and nothing aggressive (soft foam pad, Ultimate polish)... KEEP IN MIND: these defects are not introduced by the polishing. They were there before... I'm just looking for a way to get rid of them... but...

... oh since you mentioned you were not sure what to look at I indicated it on the pics... It is very hard to capture with a camera due to focus / reflection... basically wherever it hits the light, the surface is not smooth and there are tiny craters, defects... Big resolution on dropbox...

Thanks a lot for the answer... with regards to IMG_1304 and IMG_1309: this is how it looks when you move further away... so the damages on the first two pictures are taken very close.. I understood that there is nothing to be done at this stage without a paint thickness gauge, so this is what...

1. work in shade... 2-3 passes... if at all, not working the product enough I assume 2. already switched to foam 3. yes... and as stated, by removing it, adding fine scratches as there are really sticky spots where UP does not want to get off... ...this forum is full of posts from users...

sorry - what should I read?

Thanks a lot for all your answers... with regards to the finer defects (the first part of my initial post): I only have a magnetic paint thickness scale (one of these pens) which indicated green (no respray anywhere of the car and normal paint thickness) when I bought the car. I dont have it...

Hi All, I am trying to get the paint of my 993 perfect and worked so far with Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish. While in general, I get ok results, when I use a flash light, the clear coat still looks like it has many defects which are not swirls, scratches, etc... but rather like tiny...

Thanks a lot everyone for providing helpful guidance and insights... I tried again with a foam pad and results were better, yet not perfect. Main reason is that I do get some awful, sticky residues from Ultimate Polish that are difficult to remove causing again scratches... I tried removal of...

Wow, this looks amazing! May I ask how you did this / what products used?

Thanks a ton for the input! Few remarks: - yes its a Porsche 993 - I used a Meguiars Microfibre Finishing Pad which I thought is the perfect match for UP... I also have a Chemical Guys white foam hex pad which I could try.. but my plan was to use this one for the final application of liquid wax...

Hi All, I‘m an avid reader of this forum and also read the existing posts where some people had issues with Meguiars Ultimate Polish. I‘m still „beginner“ and started using my DA Polisher with Meg4‘s UP... unfortunately, the results were not good... I got a lot of cloudy / hazy paint and I am...
