    Trying to remove Gtechniq Exo

    Last fall I applied C1 and Exo to my car in a garage without the best lighting. I had some high spots that I left on all winter. 2 weeks ago, I tried to polish it off so I could reapply it. When trying to polish it off, it seemed to just melt and spread all over the paint. I now have cloudy paint and can't get it to shine again.

    I used the Adams Polishes 2 step process with micro fiber pads on my Griots 6"

    any ideas?

    Not sure what exactly you have done there,pictures would help, if surface still has these high spots i would advise to use our Spotless , its strong acid solution that i know can help you with the coating you have there. work it as water spot remover, spray over the defected area , agitate on and rinse well after. might work.
    test it on small area first to see how it goes.
    near glass be careful not to leave sprayed Spotless dry on , it might stain your glass if left to dry. HTH

    I will try and get pictures for you, I am not sure how they will turn out. there is some sort of hazy film all over the car now. I can't get it to polish out. The high spots are gone.

    I will look into getting spotless to see if will help.

    M100 should do the trick

    What polisher did you use? How many passes? How big were your sections? Did you use too little/too much polish? How much pressure did you apply?

    I removed gtechniq from my car last summer (it was there a year with a couple high spots) and had to use FG400 in a couple areas with my Rupes to get it down. The high spots can look hazy, so it might just need a more aggressive polish.

    Agree with others: pics would help.
