Heijneker Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Question for Dr. G So I recently tested some products from other companies on my car. After washing my car with ONR, I lightly polished my car using Menzerna 400 on a DA, and wiped it clean with ONR. I thought it had worked very well with a great finish. Afterwards I applied some Bilt Hamber Double Speed Wax. Very slick paint and great beads. I figured the only downside for Menzerna compared to OPT polishes would be VOC's and not very eco-friendly. But I guess I found another downside: damage to my car..... These very tiny, but very noticeable, spots are all over 1 of the 3 panels of my car on which I used above products. Could these be caused by the Menzerna polish somehow? And what component of this polish could have caused this? Hope Dr. G could find the time to elaborate on this very interesting subject.

Ron@Optimum Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 that doesn't look like damage caused by polish, but pre-existing paint flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heijneker Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thanks, Ron! A paint expert also stated the same, saying it's caused by a sputtering spray gun. Very strange I hadn't noticed it earlier though, I inspected this paint/panel up close numerous times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 many times a good cleaning/polishing exposes flaws not seen before...institutional hazard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
