IMHO:
Putting touch-up paint on top of paint chips that are already full of a compound is an exercise in futility. The chips have to be completely cleaned out first.
•So...In this case:
"Like removes Like" probably is not a viable option.
•Sounds like you need to get some "panel wipes" similar to
the paint-prep chemicals that paint and body shops use:
-DuPont PrepSol
-3M Prep Solvent
-Wurth Clean Solve
-Klean Strip Prep-All

Re: M105 in rock chips
Thanks for the reply! Yeah I know it has to be fully cleaned out for the paint to adhere properly. I just wasn't sure what product I would need, I would think that what I've tried so far should've done it.
Dumb question. Are those paint prep chemicals safe for paint? It won't fade/haze or strip the finish?
Thanks

What technique are you using to remove the M105 from the chips, during you prep process?

+1 for steam
Works great removing polish around badging as well if you polish inside the lettering with a q-tip

Is there a cheaper route for creating steam? I don't have a steamer.

Re: M105 in rock chips
Are you sure that is actually polish?
Maybe the primer underneath is lighter??
Surprised that a heavy ipa used immediately after didn't take care of it.
I have a black vehicle that has tiny chips that look similar but it is just the chip....
Use a clothes iron to create steam.

When I first got the car the rock chips were all touched up black. Immediately after using M105 they all turned white. The DA polisher wouldn't have gotten into the chips and removed the touch up paint?
70% of the chips are very light, doesn't look like they'd be deep enough to get down to primer/metal.
