Dirt stains on cars

[devils_smile]

The "Easiest way to fix this" refers to the original issue I highlighted. The streaking mentioned in the text before this. If i start hitting sap residue or other types of gunk with a rotary pad, that's a solid good buy to the pad and the paint

That statement has to be the best take on what they actually say to their customers. Bravo

And true, scratch X does cost that much. In situations like this, it makes sense to get it and have them do it if the person isnt much of a DIY'er. I'd still opt for a dedicated compound and polish which are hand application compatible

Like I said, its a good brand on a budget. never heard anyone complain. I see they sell complete bundles and those cost less than most of the branded polishes and compounds let alone waxes and sealants.

At the end of the day, if there's a product out there that fits your budget and helps protect your cars paint, get it. it'll help in preventing issues like this

Compound works by removing paint. How is it not harsh? It's literally one of the harshest treatment for car paint aside from sanding.

never heard anyone complain.

I have, you can't satisfy everyone.
And some just want a refund, even though they liked & used the product. They directly initiate a refund request on daraz, the qc team blindy accept its ~ this special habitat tends to lie in their refund req. The product is returned to us & we have to bear the loss. They abuse the "14 day return policy" on daraz, it's quite unfortunate. Yes, we can file a dispute with daraz ~ but they require a packing video & other details aswell. Even after providing all that, dispute rarely gets accepted. Working on daraz is like a living hell, but yeaa ~ it brings in a good amount of revenue & profit. Also, brand awareness. Soo, in the long run - it's beneficial.

Some sellers can't afford cameras and other equipment to ensure every parcel's packing process is recorded, so they resort to pakistani solution " Jugaar"~ like making/faking a video after receiving a refund request. There are many other loopholes that can be discussed. There's a reason why many sellers prefer their own sites in pakistan. Sorry, I'm deviating from the main topic.

At the end of the day, if there's a product out there that fits your budget and helps protect your cars paint, get it. it'll help in preventing issues like this

1000% Agreed !!

I see they sell complete bundles and those cost less than most of the branded polishes and compounds let alone waxes and sealants.

During 11.11 & other sales, those guys are demoning - selling the same bundles @ 5-10% off flat.

It doesn't removes paint. Sanding cuts the layer of clear coat but with grit greater than 2000 with wet sanding smoothens it out with very gentle hands. And compound basically brings back the reflection of that clear coat.

So in general we can't talk about paint, we will open up the layers. Clear coat has atleast 3-4 layers on paint. So if you sand 1/2 down and apply rubbing compound it means you are cutting 1/2 layer with a control on sand paper grits. But applying compound will not cut any layers. It will smoothen out old oxidised clear coat or any stains in it will vanish.

So if you directly apply compound to the affected area it won't cut or damage the paint. And remember whenever I talk about something I've practically done it it thousand of times only than I speak here.

Well next time you do it, do yourself a favor and read the bottle of compound and see what it says about paint cutting

3M paste wax

i think you are referring
to this ?

Problem here on pakwheels is we try to help people with our practical field experience and brothers like you start arguing with us. Now if you want to do this muzahira with me you can come to my workshop we can take different paint samples and prove your point, and take my samples and prove mine. It would be fun what do you say? I'm just guiding the poster here as it's a normal paint shop job so nothing very scary or frightening.

And secondly you can do your research on Internet too
But don't use chat gpt. Back track information. And then you can try paint samples at my workshop too.

Don't take my messages or post offensive just want that we can bench test your claim and on the other hand guide the poster too. The intensity of stains is only doable by compound. And my advise is don't play with clear coat too much, as we recieve complains sometimes of stains penetration deep inside clear coat layers.

Bro there's nothing to take offense from, that what forums are for. And no one is negating your experience but the logic you are presenting is incorrect. Compound does cut paint, let me know if you know of any manufacturer who claims their compound does not cut paint.
Every compound/polish bottle literally mentions the amount of cut it will achieve. Even cleaner waxes have mild abrasives. It is not advisable for a first time user to try compounding on their car they may end up damaging paint. Rule of thumb is that one starts off with least abrasive option and move up if it doesn't work.

For OP case, it should be to try degreaser, tar remover, clay bar. If it doesn't work, then try polishing. Compound is the last step to try.

BTW from the pics it looks like dired up shampoo. Seems like he is leaving it on too long and its drying up. OP try washing one panel at a time.

[dani_kk]

Agreed. But it looks it's gone inside first layer of clear coat. In my opinion it looks like nothing else's gonna work on it. I'm just trying to stop him from bigger damage. But let's hope for the best.

[pwuser16685052516]

ok i lwill try washing one panel at time. but if it was the case it should be resolved when car is being washed at service station as i mostly take my car there ?

[pwuser16685052516]

thanks for your help. I think i will change shampoo from Tonyin to turtle for the tine being and lets see what happens.

[xzap042]

Not necessarily. Once it dries, it won't remove with regular wash.
