Default A question for all the detailers out there

Hi

might seem a simple question to the experts but why the hell does my clearcoat turn white with stone chips, scratches when my car is WR Blue, its doing my head in. Been cleaning it a lot more recently and i swear the chips and scratches multiply after midnight or something, how the hell do i get rid of the them other than a re-spray?

Have you been polishing it? Are you getting what looks like White dots and lines after?

Most polish drys real quick, and chances are a micro fibre is not picking up the polish out the stone chip holes and scratch's. There are a few wkd polishes out there for only blue cars, my mate has a blue rs, the one he use's is very good and fills the stone chips and scratch's in, and not leave White marks and dots. I'll get the name for you defo worth a try. If not you can try wet and dry on it then a little hit with a mop, that will reduce chips and get rid of most or all swirls and straches . Sorry for the long post! Lol
