Okay, so I have a 2-month-old black 2008 Ford Explorer. The other day, I used Stoner`s Invisible Glass and it left a haze. I tried everything, cleaning it and scrubing it different cleaners, but nothing worked so I decided to wash the car again. Well, then I saw grease marks all over the paint, so I tried to get it off but could not. One of my family members said try alochol. Well, I didnt have any, but I had hydrogen peroxide. I sprayed it all over the entire truck and that got rid of the grease marks, but I am just wondering - Did I do anything bad to my paint by using hydrogen peroxide? Please tell me no. I can`t see anything wrong with the paint, I`m just wondering if I damaged it somehow. Please help me - thanks!



Holy no punctuation, Batman! Fixed.



To answer your question, your paint should be fine.

The HP that you used might have removed any and all protection that you had on your paint.

When you say protection do you mean like the wax or paint clearcoat. Sorry for opening such an old post.

either a wax (zymol, WG, collinite, etc.), a sealant (like zaino, UPGP, etc.) or the paint UV protection.

Might have removed the wax. Not the clearcoat. You`d have to sand the clearcoat to remove it.



Definately put a new wax or sealant on it. Oh, and don`t buy into the wax once-a-year products ok? :)

OK now, this is *just an educated guess* as I have/will never use Hydrogen Peroxide on automotive paint, but here goes:



a) if it changed the color you oughta be able to tell

b) unless the vehicle in question has tinted clear, in order to change the color it`d have to penetrate the clearcoat (to get to the basecoat) and I sure wouldn`t expect that

c) there might be the chance of some cosmetic alteration due to oxidation from the Hydrogen Peroxide. In that case cleaning off the oxidation should fix things



In the future, I wouldn`t recommend trying something on a vehicle without having a good idea what`s gonna happen ;) Imagine if you`d ruined the paint on your nearly-new truck just because you didn`t run out to the store to get the right product for the job...

Just wondering what do you mean by uv protection. like from the wax or does the paint have uv protection from factory and i wrecked it. Thanks

^ stop worrying, if anything post pics and we`ll tell you. If you can`t tell, most likely nothing happened. You can`t burn clear off easily.

[spencer785]

no just was wondering what uv protection is, like in the wax or actually part of the paint. Thanks
