Is there a possibility the tree dirt to make holes on the CC??A customer came today with that damage...I try to remove the dirt with clay which left me a smooth surface but with tiny spots on the CC...I tried a cleaner polish some compound but nothing....The spots look like stone chips all over the car..i tried to take some pictures but it was impossible....

Any ideas how to repair this damage??is wet sanding an option??

I had a similar problem with a car and I swore it was tree fallout or something. Come to find out it was road salt form a salt truck when the owner followed one in a storm.



Compounding took a lot out but left chips everywhere and I had to wet sand it

Does the wet sand worked for you???what grid did you use??

I started with 3000 and then 2000

I don`t think that I would want *to learn* about wet sanding on a customer`s car. You have no idea of how much clear coat remains. A *smart detailer* knows when to admit he can`t fix something.

Maybe this was a type-O but I`m just curious.



Did you move on to 2000 because you needed more grit or do you literally mean you sanded with 3000 and finished up with 2000?



If the latter why? Isn`t that backwards.

Regardless, wet sanding factory paint is darn risky.
