Having a bit of a problem making the Caddy look good....

its a 97 catera with mostly highway miles...my dad drove the car to NY and back VERY frequently, so its got alot of small rock chips in the paint.....I guess after polishing/waxing the car, the chips filled up with either the wax or the polish or both, so now its a dark green car with a bunch of little white specs in the front....How should I get rid of this? You dont notice the chips if its just black like it normally is, but the white stands out....:nixweiss
 
I would try some 50/50 of rubbing alcohol/water with a MF towel. If there's still some stuff in the chips try using qtips. Tedious, I know.



do you plan on filling in the chips or getting some sort of protection like a chip guard or clear bra?
 
It might depend on what products you used, but from my experience, the cleaners in the wax/sealant/AIO/whatever actually removed the dirt and grime that was concealing the chip. What you're seeing might be primer, in which case a small bottle of touch-up paint with a toothpick will help ya out.
