I near had a heart attack today .. Some how I inherited a fine scratch in my trunk and the VW paint is very hard .. I tried Menzerna FP then IP with little luck so I moved on to DACP and a yellow pad on 5.5. It pulled the scratch ok but left a little *common* DACP/Yellpw pad hazing. Welllll from a few $$ I made on a detailing I bought #82 so I thought I would give it a try.
I used a white pad on 5 and did 1/2 the trunk and wiped it down dry.. haze mostly gone .. so I hit it again and after I spritzed it with IA/H2O and wiped it off ..
Right where I was working the scratch I saw a duller area about 1" x 8" and I figured "awe crap" I went through the clear. The trunk has been worked over a few times.
I finished off the other side and spritzed .. another odd streak ..
Turns out #82 must have oils or fillers .. the streak was that actual squirt area where the spritz hit directly.
I wasn`t getting color on the cloth with IA nor with a little cleaner wax I tried on the spot. So I was a little confused as to what the streak was.
I AIO`d and walla .. streak gone. It appears #82 has oils or fillers and the streak was where the AI/H2O made the direct hit and lifted them.
I went in the house .. changed my diaper and finished off with SG.
BTW .. this was my first try with #82 and to me it was 1/2 way between Menzerna IP & FP used on a white pad.
