Hi everyone,
I'm restoring a 95 accord that was basically washed with water and a squeegee.... :spot . Oxidized paint like you would never imagine. I'm surprised that the paint hasn't failed yet.
My process was claying with pinnacle detailing clay, then polished BY HAND with sonus sfx-1 then sfx-3, and then finally topped with a coat of AIO and KSG.
Heres a pic of before:
After:
Heres a pic of one side with the sfx-1 polish and the other side without. Try to guess which one...
Anyways, enough of the intro. I'm essentially done detailing this car. The only thing thats bugging me is that there seems to be discoloration of the paint that I cannot pinpoint. When the paint is wet or has a polish that hasn't been wiped off, it looks like liquid paint. THEN when the paint dries or the polish is wiped off and cleaned off, its back to the way it was before. Heres a pic of it right now with a coat of AIO and KSG. Note the gas tank cap and near the wheel wells versus the rest of the body.
Is it an EXTREMELY thin layer of clear thats showing the basecoat? Can I use a filler that can cover that up or can a layer of carnauba wax hide it?
I thought that it went away with the SFX-1, but apparantly not. I removed TONS of oxidized paint already by polishing TWICE by HAND with sfx-1. I would appreciate if you guys could guide me to a product I could get that would help. Thanks!
