I have inherited a black car that has improper use of 3M swirl remover. I don't know if any clear coat is left ? The black is now "grey ish" in colour.



How can I re-surrect this finish ? The only thing I have is Zaino, but I think this is gone beyond Zaino'ng ?



What can be done now ? I do have use of a PC.



what stage can I start applying the zaino ?



thanks
 
I'd make sure the surface is absolutely clean. Clay, Isopropyl alcohol (50/50), maybe some Klasse AIO.



Sounds like the clear is compromised, but we don't really have enough info to make that call. SMR is pretty harmless stuff, unless used over and over...

a black car turned grey?!



How old is this car? This is on original paint? I dont see how 3m smr can do that... The polish itself is grey (for dark cars). You are certain that the grey is not leftover polish residue that wasn't removed?
 
Sounds like the paint is heavily oxidized. Remove the oxidation with AIO or a Fine Cut polish 3M FCRC, DACP, etc.



Could be clearcoat failure or heavy conamination though too.



What are the specs on the car? make, year, etc...
