My problem is that I have, especially on the hood, what I would think is micromarring, but I'm not sure. I have searched multiple different forums to see what I have with no luck. I have clayed, polished, waxed, etc. to remove it with no luck. I currently have Meg's # 80, and 2 3M products. I am not home, so I don't have the exact product numbers, but the one that I used about 7 months ago was the finesse it rubbing compound which warns about carcinogenic dust, if that helps. It seems like since then (but I'm not sure), I have had this marring.
Ok, the marring: I cannot seem to take a photo that shows the marring since it is so diffuse and uniform. The best way to describe it is to imagine thousands of tiny little dots per square foot. They are uniform in number and distance from each other. Most people would not notice them from five feet away. They drive me nuts. I have used #80 since getting these spots with no effect. I have no true hazing on the paint, just these "dots". You cannot feel them with your nail.
Any help identifying the dots and with correcting them would be GREATLY appreciated. I kinow the thread is not as useful as if I had a photo, but ONE of you has to have seen something like this before. |
Let me first say that I didn't even read the other replys to your post. However, this micromarring you are describing is a HUGE issue with me...I don't think most people even notice it since it still looks 50 times better than having swirls in your paint. What you are seeing is thousands of little squiggly gashes, correct? These are made on the initial cut (first giggle) of the PC; MOST so-called finishing polishes leave these marks. AND, the Infiniti paint is soft - I've done many many black Infinities. The first thing you need to do is get some of the new
Blackfire Scratch Resistant Clear Polish - it has the ability to finish without these marks much better than any other polish I've tried. If you still get some of these marks, you will have to couple this polish with an ultra-soft pad, like the Propel II white or blue. Trust me, this is your best solution; try it and PM me to let me know how it works for you...but I already know. I won't be able to respond for 10 days, as I'm leaving on vacation in about 20 minutes - adios.
Oh yeah, if this doesn't work, you probalby have porous paint, which is always more porous on black...and the hood would be worse because it is succumbed to more elements...including rock showers; if so, you'll be happy you bought the Blackfire SRC polish - it's 5 times better than #80 on black! In fact, it is the best on black.
