What might this be?

Hi to all. I switched jobs after 20 years of being a therapist. Polishing paint for a while. They asked me to look at a truck hood they were converting to a police pursuit vehicle. A side business he does.

There seems to be spots that won't come off with anything I threw at it. ONR on the hood. Clayed with synthetic clay and a medium clay bar. Nada. IronX. HD speed on the hood. Came back and spot buffed a few spots and nada.

A kid was able to "flake" a spot on a different truck and it left a "halo" of sorts that can't be buffed out. The dealership last year had to have insurance out to pay for wet sanding if said spots and in some cases repaint.

Trucks were a 2018 Silverado and a 2018 Dodge. Paint on Silverado was 2.5 mil in doors and 4.5 to 4.8 on the hood so not much paint anyway. Dealership is also across the street from a factory. Makes gears. I told them it's probably fallout but would ask you kind folks to see and to see if there was a remedy outside wet sanding.

Thanks

Ryan

After reading your post, I'd agree on the chemical etching from some form of fallout.

Nasty stuff. :/

Nasty stuff. :/Thanks Paul. I sorta figured. Hate that for these vehicles and the work to fix. Appreciate the feedback.

Yeah, a Chevy, and a Ram with the same exact issues from one lot? It has to be from that factory, like you said. JMO.........

This is his old lot but they don't recall the fallout or spots ever being this bad. And yeah he owns several Chevy dealerships and a Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership and uses both brands for the police contracts.

I don't really know how to wet sane so I guess I need to be reading and practicing. I'm leery about that though. We will see...

Peace
