Name of and method to remove 'ghost streaks'? Cause?

Is this the type of situation where a decontamination process would help?

Not in this case, I did a citrus wash strip, twice, ironx, then clay, then DG501. I'd say I addressed that part pretty well.
 
Nope, if what I am thinking, a whole different issue. Buffing will create some heat and for a short while resolve the concern. That is another "clue" to what the real concern is.

Let's wait and see if the concern returns in the next week or so.

Ron:



About 10 days in now. Did 2 stripping washes since this last post and reapplied the hydro2. streaks and ghostly images on the paint are still gone. Nothing but water covering the non-waxed paint surfaces either time after strip washing. :)
 
Weird?



Ron - What is the cause/origin of the issue you were referring to? Something that stained the surface? Perhaps at the port?
 
Great, it was "moisture entrapment" in the clear. The heat of buffing evaporated it out of the substrate of the clear.

Some times buffing will work, as in this case.

The IPA and a heat gun should have done the same with less effort and labor, plus no requirement of buffing and the negatives that may happen to the paint when doing a mechanical process.

Fortunately it didn't take much polishing at all, just a normal 4 section pass type movement. thanks for the input.
 
DDA, are U referring to "holograms"?

Ron,



Can you explain this some and what to look for? I've never heard of it before. Just trying to learn something new.
