Trying to get rid of the haze One my firebird, the drivers side door and front fender have with haze to them. The rest of the looks incredible after I just put some ICE liquid clay bar to it. (Still need to wax it.) Heres some pics: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/8...0029fd2.th.jpg http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/1...0032uc8.th.jpg The other side: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1...0030zd3.th.jpg I'm thinking some polish will do the trick, but I'm not 100% sure. Any Ideas guys. |
Re: Trying to get rid of the haze Yes polish it. |

Re: Trying to get rid of the haze I think your going to need a compound or a heavy cut polish for that paint. I recommend Menzerna Power Gloss or Poorboys SSR3. Then step it down with a mild polish and then you do a sealant and you should be ready for LSP (wax) Clay bar is a great way to start off, removing all the crap that was stuck on the paint over the years, but it will not remove swirls or oxidize paint by any means (inc wax as well).. Like i said a good heavy cut polish/compound is where i would start off. I recommend investin your money in a PC7424 with some LCC pads www.autogeek.net. good place to look thru for exterior care. ----------

Thanks. Should I go with a high or low abrasive polish? to answer your question you should always start off the least abrasive product ,then work your way up if needed so. But that paint really needs to be waken up.. usually in most cases theres more then 1 step in polishing, working at the more abrasive polish and workin ur way down to a finer polish, to bring back the finish. |
Re: Trying to get rid of the haze I agree with Nick418. I think you might be able to get away with SSR2.5 with an orange pad though. |

Re: Trying to get rid of the haze Yea, a lot of people seem to be switching to Optimum products because they do not dust. |

Re: Trying to get rid of the haze Nick is correct and you will be actually removing the layer of oxidized clearcoat that is there. Be sure to use a wax or polish with High UV protection after as your clearcoat will be thinner. :) |
