Hazing Vs. Marring

[Darren F]

What is the difference between Hazing and Marring? How do you go about correcting them?

[Mike T]

They are, at least in my opinion the same thing. The result of improper polishing or a brush against something with an abrasive texture.
These imperfections generally can be corrected with a mildly abrasive polishing with a UDM and polishing pad.

[Darren F]

Would a product like XMT360 work with a polishing pad?

Hazing is the result of a polish not broken down properly and the results are a hazing of the paint...or from using a cutting pad and a strong cut polish...the hazing looks like millions of little hooks on the paint thus causing the paint to look hazy...they need to be removed with a finer polish...some call this micro marring...

marring is from improper washing...Qd'ing and many other ways....and the grit leaves a a finer scratch..the results turn to spiderwebing...

:iagree: :iagree:

[Darren F]

So would XMT360 correct this or would you use something else? If you were to use something else what would it be?

[Mike T]

XMT360 would work just fine. Pretty much and mildly abrasive polish would work.

Hazing = lots of super small marring

Id use a light cutting pad.

[Darren F]

I have Lake Country pads....I have Orange Light Cutting Pads and White Polishing Pads...

[D]

Orange.

[Bags]

I would start with the white and 360, give it time to do its thing.

[Al-53]

Use the white polishing pad with the XMT to polish out the Haze.....It may take a pass or two ..but will work....your using the finer abrasives in XMT to polish and not the cut of a pad as much.....just like finishing wood..you use a liter grit...you should get a nicer looking finish...
