Clay bar problem
No. I talked to a a paint correction expert and did 50 hours of paint correction. The paint expert was unsure. I'm thinking it's a paint defect on the base coat that became " noticed " after the claybar unfortunately for me- dave34

Clay bar problem
I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind ...to wet sand with 1000 followed by 3M grey scotchbrite then apply 2 or 3 fresh coats of 2K clear to see what happens. Only 3 panels have this issue . I hadn't clayed whole car when I noticed in sunlight the horror .- dave34

Clay bar problem
UPDATE Thanks again TurboTGuy for getting me intouch with a paint restore guy . I wish I had better news . Cutting and buffing unfortunately didn't change anything. I even tried wet sanding 1500 a small area . Probably spent 50 hours with different paint correction techniques. I figured I'd...- dave34

Clay bar problem
The only other chemical I can think of is my tire dressing sometimes slings on lowest painted areas . ( i use Griots black Shine - tire and trim coating) that's not water based but usually that gets wiped off when I get back from driving .- dave34

Clay bar problem
Maybe some residual detail mist spray wax but I doubt even much of that since I washed it 1st with warm water and a small amount of Mcguire's shampoo carwash . I've even used 3M adhesive removal the past decades with no problems . It's strange.- dave34

Clay bar problem
The garage is always closed when I'm spraying something for work or around the house. I'm not totally sure what the actual culprit was but it left black dots . Probably just canned black spray paint that made it's way in through small cracks in the garage I'm guessing. The thing is the...- dave34

Clay bar problem
Pretty upset with myself if I did this . Hopefully someone can offer possible next steps . I just can't believe a lubricated clay bar could do unrepairable damage . I've used heavy cut compound and even wet sanded some spots in the past . Always able to buff out . I get that the clay has some...- dave34

Clay bar problem
Not 100% but I'm pretty sure it was base coat and clear . I used plenty of lube and the Clay bar didn't drag . But I'm not a professional detailer . The whole reason I used it was there was some paint overspray from a paint project I did outside the garage but it somehow made it inside and got...- dave34

Clay bar problem
The car was painted back in 2001 over the original. Was not stripped . Back then I had no real rust anywhere and knew a shop owner . I was very happy with the deep gloss job . Only $1800 bucks too. Everything was cheaper back then 🙂. I do wonder though if maybe there is a paint defect at play...- dave34

Clay bar problem
Recently used a clay bar and now paint is dull and cloudy . I used polish right afterwards by machine and nothing changed . Tried a new polish twice and still this cloudiness remains. I've had my GN for almost 30 years and I've never seen anything like this before. It's really weird. Below is...- dave34

Check for loose grounds or corroded grounds. Negative battery cable gets alot of heat under the turbo and near downpipe. Check ground behind coil pack...rear passenger block ground. Check to make sure Battery + and - lugs are tight. Check alternator positive terminal for tightness. I...- dave34
