Foggy/Milky Coating-PLEASE HELP!!-


So not to promote controversy, but did "moisture" evaporate this morning?


 
I couldn't see it indirect light but I can tell where I made the X. Optimum said moisture made be in the OG.
 
So after a full day, what did you find out and accept as the problem?

That, according to OPT, there my I'm fact be moisture under my coating. It may need to be reapplied if the problems persists.
 
I feel bad for Setec...he posted the most in this thread and really pointed out the cause (obvious I might add, via description and pictures...) and pretty good facts and information but was in the end disrespected for helping a forum "new" forum member looking for help.

As for the OP, that is condensation, pointed out by the fact of your pictures and the locations of where it is happening, so really not to "give you an attitude" but really you have NOTHING to worry about, it is normal, and since you are on AG, we realize you are a car lover but really it is fine. You are worrying over nothing.


Keep in mind these people who post, take time out of their day to try to HELP YOU, they do not have anything to gain, and it is just harsh to waste your time to help someone and have them in turn disrespect you, for example when someone created a thread saying 'what is the best way to wax your car' (and he sounded like a newbie...) so I told him the easiest and most common way people wax cars is via applicator pad...and he in turn replied "oh really? now I can start detailing :sarcasm:"

It is kind of remarks like these that makes some forum members not want to help...

OP this is not an attack on you by any means if you read it that way, it is just a "uninvolved third person perspective" if that helps, while you at the time you typed it may have felt he belittled you somehow causing you to tell him to leave, I just felt it was unwarranted.

I did not tell him to leave. If you will look through you will see that he said he was going to leave before he got a headache. I did, in fact, take some of his words as insults, which I feel was a just reaction. If his words were not meant in that manner, then I do apologize. If they were, however, meant as a barb, then I do stand by my original statement. Thank you.

They told you there was moisture under the coating? Now I'm confused. The coating essentially becomes part of the paint (clear paint / clear coat). If there is moisture UNDER the coating, it would have to be OVER the paint (I've never managed to see water get under paint on a car).

Since the coating can't bind to water, it would wash away.

Am I missing something?

Keep in mind he washed it after only 3 days and had washed it multiple times before the end of the week. This was my first big red flag. Although I do agree it was most likely condensation and dew.

Don't. I got past getting upset by forums a long time ago, besides, it's hardly the venue for nuanced conversation.

Hey, you have a beautiful expensive new car and I understand you're concerned about it. All anyone here was trying to do was help you resolve your problem, and from what you told us, some of us came to a conclusion that what you were experiencing was an atmospheric condition rather than a coating condition. I think we'd all like you to get this resolved, please let us know what the detailer who did the Opti-Guard installation tells you when he looks at it.

Was there ever any resolution to this?

That's what I'd like to know? :dunno:

Then again, didn't you get the memo... water under the paint. ;)

The installer, by TELLING the OP to wash so soon just opened himself up to a whole whose of warranty issues imho.
