Water mark help!

[Dan J]

Hi Nick long time no see;)

pop round and see guy and get him to run the machine over it with some finishing polish on a medium cut pad which should sort it then get it sealed up with some good durable sealant or a hybrid wax, couple of layers should be enough;)

if only this was the case!! 

had to remove about 20um and resort to using G3 to get the job done... several hits with that and heavy cut pad, followed by removing the holograms and swirls with a polishing pad and finishing polish did the job... took ages but I got there in the end 

two coats of jetseal 109 and a final coat of swissvax and it looks like new 

  woh!!! so it didnt give up without a fight by the sounds of it  glad you got it sorted anyway mate and mr Horney is happy again
look foward to seeing the pics if any were snapped during operations

what swissvax did you use?

used mirage.. i like it and gave the bonnet a coat of that as a treat! 

nick will take pics I am sure once the rest of the car is complete... it all needs a once over but should be not much more than that!

hopefully 

cool, i remember when you first got that and put some on my Audi up at No rice, hopeing to get some myself soon.

Well it's back and worse than before.

Onto plan B. Going to try a DA and cutting paste to get them out again and then taking it u to a mates spray booth on monday to blow it over with clear coat to hopefully seal it properly from happening again.

If that fails then I'll get my mate to blow over the whole car in a fresh coat of Neo Green.

sucks 

[Horney]

Yeah just a bit, I'm well gutted. Got it on one wing top as well.

I think the plan now is to take the bonnet off the car first thing monday and get some fine wet and dry on it and take it as far back as I dare. Hopefully that will get them out. Then into the booth and couple of cans of laquer to seal it.

Also going to get a quote off Marcus to blow the whole car over in fresh pant as I think I might get it done anyway in the spring as it is stone ship city at the moment. I reckon if I strip and prep it myself over a day he can paint it for about £400. Should be able to do the whole thing ina 4 day weekend from start to finish.

this isn't a recurrance of the same spots that we had the other day was it? or is this new spots after a rainfall?

[Horney]

New spots after not washing it for a week, spotted them this morning before I cleaned it. They're in different places and much bigger. Really weird!

Since ive applyed dodojuice lime prime via a machine buffer and then a wax, I dont get as much water marks.
Just used a wash wax shampoo and then megs quick detailer. No marks!

Never used a paint cleanser in the past (lime prime). I did use poorboys polishes and then wax but after a wash I got very bad water marks.

Acid Rain on cheap lacquer i reckon Nick, has the car had any paint? are all panels marking up uniformly?
Seen something like this type of contamination before, and turned out to be the brake dust off trains, settling on the car during the day, while parked at a train station car park, day in day out, lacquer would eventually break down, especially at high humidity times if the year...
I have also seen this type of problem, reappear after painting!!
