martyyn 2 Report post Posted April 24, 2009 Forget your Meguiars three-step, your Mothers clay bars, your microfibre clothes and your TurtleWax *shudder*, you just need your finger. For the time Ive had the touring there has been a blemish in the paint on one the doors. Its the size of a childs fist looks a little cloudy and has always given the impression that it was just under the surface. It always disappears when its wet, but as soon as it dries out it reappears. Its been incredibly annoying because I see it everytime I get into the car. I was trying to take a photo of it this afternoon (which isnt easy) and with a typical action I just rubbed at it with my finger as you do when you see a blemish. Its at that point that I notice that where I rubbed now has no blemish at all but a small amount of a thin powdery substance. So I rub some more and more of this fine powder appears, little by little the blemish disappears and more of the powders appears. The powder just wiped off with a soft cloth and.....low and behold the blemish has gone ! Ive had two paint shops look at it and both have said the paint is damaged and the door must be resprayed, and Ive tried all sorts of paint restorers, scratch removers, clay bars, paint cleaners, everything. So does anyone have any idea what it could've been? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamez 2147483647 Report post Posted April 29, 2009 oil makes paint look so good, my dad once used an oily rag by accident to clean my mums car, looked amazing.........till it started collecting dust guess the grit of you fingers caused it to effectively scratch off then the oil in your skin gave it a nice finish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
