    Paint stains

    So I have waxed my ride several times and from 3 feet away it looks great. But up close there seems to be stains that to me look like water marks.
    Is there a cleaner that I can use to get rid of this?
    I assume I am better off with a cleaner and then wax as apposed to a cleaner/wax, right?

    Is there any way you can share a picture?


    I wrote this to help others....




    The easy way to share a picture on a forum - Tapatalk App for your cell phone


    As a person that shares a LOT of pictures in the forum world using the best way, which is to upload pictures to a gallery so the pictures have an actual cyber home with an actual cyber address, I completely understand that the majority of people don't know how to do this and don't have the patience or wherewithal to figure it out.


    So with that said, here's the easy way, simply get the TapaTalk App on your phone. Links below for the type of phone you have.


    Link for TapaTalk for iPhone


    Link for TapaTalk from Google Play


    I don't have a tutorial on how to then use the App but I figure it out and if I can do it - most of you should be able to look at the interface and with a little experimenting - figure it out.

    Re: Paint stains

    Those look fairly minor and I think any good AIO (cleaner wax) should take care of it without issue.

    Of course, you could also use a fine polish followed by your 845.

    Or both an AIO and 845. Collinite products play very well with AIO's.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    3D Speed or Blackfire One Step.

    The top two choices out there IMO.

    Re: Paint stains

    So ulitmetlety I opted for Collinte aio cleaner wax as that is the wax I plan to follow up with and thought they might compliment each other better.

    I tried a test area about 2' square by hand and it removed about 85% of the stains.

    Would using an orbital buffer achieve better results or should i try a different product?
