Removing Liquid Glass?

Hello everyone



Being I'm a noob on the forum and I can't post photos of what Liquid Glass 'did' to my car. I'll describe it.



Short story is I tried it on my car and a week or two later (we've had a lot of rain here in DE), my 240sx's red paint has turned kind of 'milky' and there are rain-drop stains all over. Never had this happen to my paint before. Granted, it is a cheap paint job from the p/o (not even the factory color, more orange-red than it should be) but it looked good and never had stains. I normally use a combo of Mothers or Meguiars, and clay bar it often. It's always looked good and I would always get "did you just get the car painted?" comments. Now it looks like poop.



So, what should I do now? I don't think a clay bar is going to remove whatever Liquid Glass is on there. They have a pre-cleaner I noticed .. but it's only available online. Is there something locally available that I could use to remove the stains and start over again? I do have a new bottle of Mothers 'paint cleaner' that I haven't used yet.



I'm not really knocking Liquid Glass here (although I've read on here it's been reformulated), it's probably the cheap paint job is to blame, but I'm pretty shocked at what happened. It almost looks oxidized in some areas.



Thanks for any insights...:think:
 
Any prewax cleaner or clay should remove the Liquid Glass. LG does not have any cleaning properties (it needs the PreWax Cleaner) and will only accentuate flaws in the paint. Is the paint single stage? If so, reds will tend to look chalky/milky when the top layer oxidizes and applying LG directly over that will highlight that.
 
LG is a resin... a Prewax cleaner isn't going to remove crap. This is actually a common occurence with LG. I know of at least a half a dozen people that have used LG with the same milky results. You can polish the resin off or just let it wear off. LG usually dosen't last more than a couple months tops anyways. (contrary to what they tend to claim)

Do you mean polish the resin off w. an orbital or something else that I could apply? It's been only a month so far. I just hate looking at it.

I don't care too much actually, I mean I care enough to wax the car and keep it as shiny as when I got it in 05' but the p/o was the dork that had the junk paint job done. Once the dings/little dents are pulled .. I plan on vinyl wrap (then I won't be waxing it all at that point... :2thumbs:)



Thanks guys!
