if not POLISHING aka PAINT CORRECTION

Both had the same issue - repainted paint & road side car wash

some of the more obvious damages is ?


swirls and microscopic scuff by wrong techniques and abrasive chemical use as shampoo

moving on preparing the car paint surface

How to prep the car after wash? to remove surface contaminants?

Outter surface contaminant test? Swipe test by a very dry damp cloth - you will feels what your naked hands wouldn't be able to!!!
