so I started to polish down this 2002 altima, using poorboys 2.5 with orange pad, and customer has told me that the front drives side fender has been painted (he had the car for 4 years now) so as i'm polishing down I noticed that the polish started to turn dark grey, so I stopped and WTF I cannot beleive what happened like the clear coat disinigrated, this area on the fender also had (look like clear coat runs) not sure if this area is contaminated or very poor preping of base paint?? check out the photo and see what you guys think!

WOW! That is not good... what machine were you using when that happened?

[Bubbabuff]

PC 7424, rest of car turned out fine!!! Still boggles my mind!

I noticed the car has a lot of peeling clear coat in certain areas

Wow that is crazy. Definitely a paint defect. I've used SSR2.5 on speed 6 with an orange pad, on the same spot for over a minute (on 10 year old paint nonetheless) without a single issue.

Was that original paint or a repaint?

I too have used SSR 2.5 with no issues.

Yikes, it looks like the repaint job was very shoddy, talk about thin paint!
