any wax to cure this paint?
im broke, no money to get a paint job anytime soon and just curious of any alternate solutions for now..... the roof looks hopeless :(
the hood has a messed up spot just like the trunk does. http://members.cox.net/ontrack/pro001.jpg http://members.cox.net/ontrack/pro002.jpg http://members.cox.net/ontrack/pro003.jpg http://members.cox.net/ontrack/pro005.jpg |
Wash the car with fallout remover, then a high-alkaline soap, then use a cutting compound to take the paint down a bit, then continue to buff it out with a polishing compound. That's what we do at work.

No, fallout, (also known as “rail dust”) are little flakes of metal that become imbedded in the paint while the cars are on the trains, enroute to the dealerships. Fallout remover is a highly-corrosive acid that works to remove the particles without damaging the paint. (It makes chrome wheels shiny as hell too!)
The pics were funny though… :laugh: |
You could just use a clay bar (like Mother's) instead of the fallout remover, then use 3M's Perfect-It Fine Cut rubbing compound, followed by 3M's Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover/Polish. That's pretty much the same recommendation as Maxx Mazda's - just giving you a couple names of some products. I know you can buy all this stuff at Pep Boys and the 3M products can be applied by hand OR buffer, although a good dual-action buffer would yield better results.

maybe i'll try this out when i get some time :) the roof discourages me tho. stuff's been peelin for a coupla months now. thanks for the replies. keep them coming if i should know of something :D

I doubt any of the above will do much ! the clear on your car is shot. a buffing might help some but wont cure your problem.
Age and the enviroment has taken its toll.Hate to be a bummer but......:( |
