For the first time I used a clay bar to detail the car, I noticed a few things:
The Left Quarter panel has some strange stuff on the clear coat. It looks like some sort of clear covering that didn't come off perhaps?
Could I use a hair dryer to heat up the area and perhaps peel these few spots off? Or are they Clear Coat spatterings??
The top rear hatch has a few spots in the trough area between the window and quarter. They are irregular spots, perhaps some acid? burned into the clear coat? Or calcium
build up?? Perhaps a concentrated re claying of the area to take them out? Further, the emble, how can I clean the interior areas? I have a lot of gunk build up in the inside corners of the emblem-- how to clean up??
In some areas of the paint I have some scratches in the clear coat, they look better from the bar but still need work. The pup put his paws on the front cover and his nails sratched the clear coat when he got off!!:ugh
Just noticed, a bit too late the panel in front of the rear wheel, it's all chewed up from road rocks... only 30k on car. Wish I'd known about this would have put a clear panel on it to protect the paint.
But does the paint "pop" now after the clay and wax!! It looks like some sort of yellow stuff came off the clear coat on the bar...
