Another coating high spot question
Hey guys,
I found some threads on this, but many different answers. I just coated my ride with Wolfgang PROFI, and I have some high spots. Two of them I tried to fix, but I didn't get it right.
Is there a good method to polish only a specific area and reapply? Or do I need to do the whole panels? The worst offender is the rear bumper, which is the trickiest part.
If I mask off the area, polish, then reapply with some overlap, should I be able to clean this up?
On a brighter note, there's this:
Thanks all
John

I’ve never been able to blend it well, always had to polish and coat the entire panel again to achieve satisfactory results.

Yeah same here usually whole panel. If you have enough left I would try to spot blend it. Maybe your coating will react differently.
If it doesn’t look right then redo whole panel.

Location of the high spot and the color of the paint have a lot to do with how easily you can correct the spot.
I found on dark colors in a highly visible spot like a door, hood or roof, it took a re-do of the whole panel to make it look right. On an area like the front facia, rocker panels or rear bumpers with a light color you might be able to spot correct.

It's yellow and apparently very forgiving, cuz I kinda blew it. I will probably try the easy approach first.
Thanks for the feedback.

Did you use too much product .... what caused the high spots ?!
Or you left the product for too long before wiping it off ?

If it’s up to five hours later that I see the spot I can dab some coating on my applicator and basically polish it out.
If it’s the next morning that’s when trouble starts.

It flashed super quick on the bumper, and I felt like I had been wiping too hard and removing too much coating previously. So I probably didn’t wipe those spots hard enough. I may have used too much too. On one section, I applied a second time because I felt like it came off too easy.
It was my first time coating, so learning experience. Honestly 99% of the population would never notice. But I’m in the 1%, as we all are. Haha.
Car looks pretty good. But really no better than PNS+sovereign.

I take - it the difference between a top shelf wax and ceramic coating is mostly in durability of the protection, not the way it looks (as if something can look better than 2 layers of 845 .. in my view at least .. )

Re: Another coating high spot question
One main difference is that ceramic coating isn’t coming off. You can strip wax relatively easy.
