Polish/Wax + stone chips = nightmare.....help!!!!!!

<< < (2/2)

swgti:
Would a really dark wax such as Dodo Juice purple haze or blue velvet be any better then? or would they utlimately end up curing the same colour and stand out just as much?

stealthwolf:
As above you'll ultimately need to fill in the chips or respray the bonnet. There was an experiment on DW that showed that colour charged waxes work but they used about four layers on a white car before there was an appreciable difference.

And lots of editing in photoshop.



Coloured waxes will have the same effect they will be gone after a few weeks. fighting a losing battle unfortunately bud. panel respray and a clear-bra.

swgti:
Not going down the respray route as it's not actually that bad, when the chips aren't full of wax 90% of them are barely noticable as they're just surface scratches and not even through to the primer I just wondered if there was a way of polishing/waxing without it ending up the state it's currently in. I've been looking into the Chipex system so might just give that a go and see how I get on.

GS WAX:
Without seeing it its hard to tell the cause...Usually its as jay pointed out the polish used contains fillers/oils or it could be that the polish wasn't worked for long enough, all that is water under the bridge, its happened now.

A quick tip to rescue it back to its former glory without a respray, rub some water displacement spray over the areas ( GT85/WD40) until virtually invisible then quick wipe down with a detail spray to finnish.
