Clear bra and Ceramic

[AdamIsAdam]

Related question: I have PPF and 3 years ago I put ceramic over it. I think I need to strip it and start again because in the right light, I'm seeing odd product residue that looks like high spots or something, but it's pretty wide spread. I'd like to strip it and start again.

I started using a Wolfgang prep spray which seems to be helping, but it's still there. Should I just do this a few times?

A bit more background: this is a 2018 GT350 weekend only, sunny weather only car that I wipe down with Griot's Best in Show detailer after every ride. If cool, I started trying Griot's speed shine. I did recently try Griot's speed shine with ceramic and I think that's my issue - too much ceramic product.

TIA,
Adam

Sounds like a nice ride. Looking forward to pics....hint hint

Your need is pretty easy to resolve. Just re-polish with the corresponding polish by the coating vendor or if they don't have one, a refining polish. Go light as all your goal is targeting is the removal of the coating itself. PPF has a clear coat but they are sensitive and most are self healing so there's often no need to work them. Again, that can actually damage them. GYEON makes a nice PPF polish. I've used it but even there, any finishing polish will work. Then just prep and coat as normal.

The below is accurate - and helpful.

I've had good luck polishing out PPF using fine cut polishes that use great abrasive technology and either a soft foam polishing pad or a soft foam finishing pad.

Use the least aggressive process to get the job done.

Thanks all. Just so I don't get the wrong product, can you suggest the lightest, finest polish and pad to use? I have a good random orbital.

Oh, and I'm always happy to oblige with pics...
