Weird streaking spots (Help!!!!)
I notice these weird streaking spots on my hood 3M plastic chipguard which I don't even know where they come from. They are not scratches because I can't feel them with my finger nails. I also have someone to feel them with her finger nails and they are definitely not scratches.
Someone suggests to do, is to buy a compound for light scratches and try buffing the surface with it. Then put it on like a wax with a wet sponge, let dry to a haze, and wipe off with a clean cloth. If that doesn't work, I need to replace the 3M plastic chipguard. I also attach the photos. What should I do? Thank you. |

Power buff it with a light compound and you should be fine. I use Wolfgang's scratch and swirl remover and then just seal afterwards.

I apologize in advance if I doubt your suggestion but have you ever done it physically or has anybody successfully removed those streaks with swirl remover or such....something like Zaino ZPC. I have Porter Cable 7424.
Also what kind of applicator pad should I use to remove those streaks..... That hood clearbra or chip guard is plastics so I am so afraid that I do more harm than good. Thank You folks. |

What do you have for polishes and pads? Try something not-too-aggressive - M205, PO106FF, maybe PO203S. Try a finishing pad to start with and see where that gets you.
