Can I use Scratch X for removing marred/hazy spot from claybar application?

Hey guys,

Like the subject states....i have a spot on my fender in which I think I went a bit too hard with the claybar and it's now hazy/white looking (black car).

I have been reading on the forum and seems a polish is the best way to go about these marks. I do not have a PC so since it's a small spot (2.5 inches or so diameter) I guess I should be able to polish it by hand.

Most of the stuff i read on scratch X is about removing scratches but didn't see much about hazy/marred spots caused by claybar....

Am I looking at the wrong product? i see I can get 3m swirl remover for dark cars online as well....or is there any other better products of this type of blemishes? I read a few posts saying scratch X might leave some marring of its own, definitely not what i need then....also #9 was mentioned as an alternative, but that seems to just be a filler. Also how would the Scratch X compare to Zaino Z-PC...I use Zaino z-5 and z-2 on my car for protection, but never used the Z-PC



The car is a black nissan 350z which I hear have a very soft clearcoat.



Thanx!
 
i did that once to my car and my heart sank (black car too). I rubbed a bit of Meguairs Cleaner Wax with a MF cloth, remove and it did the trick. Cleaned out the haze, and it looked excellent.



scratchx might be too aggresive, u dont want to put more marring if u dont know how to use it properly. pick up a bottle of cleaner wax. Very easy to use. :2thumbs:
 
Thanx! i actually have a bottle of Meguiar's cleaner wax at home that I so I'll give that a shot....

I know what you mean about your heart sinking...my car's brand new and I've been worrying sick about this all weekend...hopefully it'll work out
 
Are there any other polishes I should be looking into in case the cleaner wax does not work? i have been reading alot on KAIO and Optimum poliseal? Again I'd be doing this by hand since i dont have a PC and its a relatively small spot...

Should I use dawn before i try the cleaner wax/polish? I knwo i have like 2 coats of z5 on it that I put on top of the mark to see if it'd cover it up (which it did but only for a few days cos of rain)

Sorry for the noob questions...just wanna make sure i can get this off without making things worse!

Dunno about the PolySeal, but the AIO won't do it (Klasse AIO is basically functionally nonabrasive). The Zaino AIO has a bit of abrasive, but I dunno if it'll do the job.



Even on soft paint, it's hard to say what'll work/not, you just have to try something and see.



I wouldn't go with a cleaner wax if you're using Zaino, it'll do more filling than correcting and when you clean the wax off so the Zaion will bond the marring will appear to come back.



See my PM response, but I'd go with ZPC or Zaino AIO, which will be handy to have around anyhow.
