Rock chips/cracks in clear coat--filled with compound, how to remove?

[amcdonal86]

I did a polishing job this weekend and I think it turned out pretty good. However, I was using M105 and M205, and it seems that excess M105/205 has ended up in all the rock chips and minor cracks in the clearcoat on my hood, causing them to stand out much more than they did before I started the job.



Is there any easy way to remove the compound from the rock chips?

IPA and water 50/50

I used a taw soaked tooth pick

Thanks, any particular way to apply it? Will washing the car and then rubbing a IPA/water 50/50 soaked microfiber take care of most of the compound?

Spray the IPA/water mix, wipe with a MF towel, then the compound should come right off, if not do it again.

Will I have to reapply wax? I have a coat of Collinite 845 on there.

If necessary, soak a cloth with the cleaner and lay it on the chips so the product can dwell for a while. You might have to find a way to keep the cloth from sliding off the car....
