I'm hoping it's not CC failure.

I just saw this from picking up my GF from work. At night time under the street lights. Since the car is white, I am not sure if it will be visible during the day but I will try to get a picture tomorrow.

You guys want to chime in? What it can be? how to find out for sure? and what to do about it?

Thank You,

It is really hard to capture the picture on my phone, it is very visible right when the light hits that particular area, very dull looking an rough to the touch.

I can't tell from the pics... sort of just looks like really bad swirls or wash induced marring in that one spot.

Damm..., this car was given to me, so wont be taking a loss. My brother (previous owner) just let it sit outside parked never moved it for 2 years. Buying a new car is not an option for me currently. Maybe I can talk to my family of repainting it. The hood and fenders got repainted.

Is there anyway of of saving what is left from further CC failure? Including that spot?

I am thinking about rubbing compound with a MF towel by hand (only) to see what happens?

[hernandez.art13]

I havent done anything to mar it. Hmm??? It could have been my brother, or the Auto Body shop But who knows...

[hernandez.art13]

I had an epiphany. I plan going to the Chemical Guys anyways. To get some MF towels and to go be a tourist. Ask them a few questions. Then maybe I could bring this up and hopefully they can help me.

I am going to try the rubbing compound by hand and see if anything happens.

Haven't had a chance to work on my car. That's why it' covered in swirl marks. I am looking for a place with a garage so I can move out and work as I please and not have to worry about anybody complaining.
This is the best I could get it's even hard for me to find. That is how unnoticeable it is.

I'm not going to start another thread of me venting about painting wooden doors, I figured I could come on here and share.

I find preparation is very important when even painting wooden doors, I posted about wooden doors because I thought painting cars and even wooden doors in some way are similar. That's all

If I start of possible CC failure thread, dont change the subject. Ok got you.
