    Problem encountered with coating

    Hi everyone I am encountering some problem with my coating.

    Did my steps according
    1. Wash
    2. Clay
    3. Coating

    Skipped the polishing part as my car is new and not much swirl marks.

    So now I noticed there are like water marks alike in the coating under the sun. Tried using mf towl to bluff off but doesn't seem to do anything. So I presume the marks are in the coating itself and not on the surface.

    Any remedies I can try first?

    TIA

    Car Pro makes a water spot remover (Spotless) that will not remove their ceramic coating.

    Not sure if it will work. Seems to be embedded within the coating itself..

    If it’s under the coating then your only option is to polish and if necessary, compound. That will remove the coating and water spots. Then coat again.

    Re: Problem encountered with coating

    I first might ask this question:

    After the coating was applied, did the vehicle then sit outside overnight, and that what we see is possibly the effects of dew that formed on the panels overnight?

    Is such spotting also on side vertical panels, or just the hood and horizontal surfaces?

    About the only other thing that comes to mind, was that the surface was not properly prepped, and that the coating didn't properly bond to the paint?

    You mention only 3 processes, wash, clay, coat.

    Did you come behind after that Claying Process with a surface prep product? Such as for instance Carpro Eraser? Or a diluted IPA wipedown? This should've been done.

    Clay Lubes are basically just a detailing spray is all. There's lubricants in such products, and the lubricant might be in many cases simply silicones.

    That in comparison, it would be like a person pulling into a Paint-Body Shop with his vehicle, start spraying away on his ride with a detailer spray with silicones in it, and next thing you know, the next umpteen paint jobs coming out of that shop all have fisheye damage in the paint.

    Perhaps fill us in with some further details, some here might have a better answer for you to properly correct this issue.

    May we ask what coating was used? Not that this may make a difference, but....

    Re: Problem encountered with coating

    I am new to detailing so I tried coating on the hood first.

    Product used was Kisho Coating. A Japanese brand. Not sure if u guys heard of it.

    Oh man. I did not do a surface prep with any product.

    Car was sitted outside but I guess there wasn't any dew as in the morning when I check the car was dry. Unless the few has already dried up.

    So lets say these marks are in the surface supposed by mf cloth shd be able to bluff off? My concern is probably is there any way to check if these marks are on top of the coating? Or inside the coating?

    Thanks guys! Mine is a pretty new car so it's kinda getting me worried.

    Highly doubt a towel will remove that...probably gonna need to polish it out. It’s not a big deal though.

    Re: Problem encountered with coating

    That is comforting to hear. At least I know my paint is unaffected.

    I kinda of a newbie. So please bear with me and guide me through the process.

    So next step I should try to polish the coating off using a compound?
