Hello guys
My client has approached me about detailing this vehicle and doing some paint correction. The vehicle is a 1996 MK3 Golf.
I took a look at the car today and I am left completely confused.
Here is the problem:
What is this??
My first thought was oxidation. But looking closer at it (with the owner staring over my back) I couldnt quite figure what it was. Its got a rough texture and smooths out on the edges of the bonnet. The bonnet is the only part affected besides this:
The rest of the car is in really good condition considering the colour and age of the vehicle:
Another weird thing is that the paint flushes nicely with no issues (Nice flake too) and then suddenly on the corner of the bonnet is this again and its really bad:
My client said that it deteriated like this over a period of two weeks and he does not know why. Looking at it closely it seems as if the paint was melted or something.
Is this an example of clearcoat failure? What could have cause this and more importantly how do I rectify it?
Im assuming wetsanding may be needed but how do I know there is a decent layer of paint under this muck?
I have accepted the work but was wondering if you guys new what this was and what methods I should take rectifying it? I have also posted this on Detailing world but want as much advice as I can get. What do you guys think?
Thanks everyone.
Mike
