    78 camero with single stage metallic paint

    Ok so I did the maguires no.7 polish rub down. I first left it on for 2 hours then whipped down and reapplied. I ended up leaving polish on car for 2 days. When I wiped it off I used a clean dry terry cloth and now I have one section that is not right. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated ATTACH]56170[/ATTACH]78 camero with single stage metallic paint-1491072146508-jpg78 camero with single stage metallic paint-1491072157577-jpg78 camero with single stage metallic paint-1491072170436-jpg

    Hi, welcome to AGO.

    First off, it's very difficult to see your photo's. You can upload your photo's to the free / unlimited web gallery and repost the pics.

    https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum...r-message.html

    The #7 rubdown is typically to gorge old dried out paint with the oils found in #7 (a non abrasive polish). Typically done when single stage paint is neglected and very oxidized. If the paint wasn't in bad shape to begin with, it probably didn't require it.

    The #7 Rub Down Technique by Mike Phillips

    I ended up leaving polish on car for 2 days
    Do you mean the #7 or another polish?

    It's quite possible after two days it has become dry. Just wiping with a terry cloth will be difficult and or possibly not get it all off (by hand).
    You could try a rinsless or waterless wash to wipe off any excess polish and polishing oils.

    That is where I would start before trying anything more aggressive.

    Can you get better pics? They are not very telling of your problem.

    Keep in mind:
    Correcting/Buffing SS Metallic
    changes the flake and depth; i.e.:
    creation of "the tiger stripes fx"
    is very likely---Not pretty.

    Re: 78 camero with single stage metallic paint

    Yes no. 7. The paint was def in need of something! I did a walk around inspection and didn't notice any thin spots. It all looked even. I did notice that it must have been repainted because it's had some body work to same side that I'm having the issue. I will re-download better pics in just a sec. Thx guys!
