Re: Remove water spots - Matte Shaker Hood Scoop - 2016 Challenger Scatpack 392 Hemi
Huge difference on the shaker and graphics. How was the paint. Did you do a one or two step?

Paint had water spots too plus light swirls and scratches. Entire outside of car was contaminated.

This is what I call a one-step paint correction and ceramic coating.
I've posted the link to the write-up for the rest of the car above, but here it is also...

Outstanding work. This is why I'm not fond of these matte-finish parts and/or graphics on a daily driver.
Have you ever had to restore a newer satin-finish hood on Hellcat/Scat Pack cars?
Thanks.

Same here - not a fan.

Can't remember a newer car where I've done this. I would do it as long as the owner knew the paint was going to gloss-up a tick.

Mike amazing shine on that hood scoop. But I'm still seeing some water spots after your procedure. hard water spots are extremely difficult to remove. But I've found that at surface scratch remove (paste) like a paste wax can remove a lot of these spots. But worse case, use plastic spray paint to restore the finish. I've even found that Bug and tar removed can remove these. But the most successful method is clay bar treatment.

My repair of the damage is not complete and that's because the "damage" is IN the surface material deeply. It's not topical. I felt to abrade the plastic any further would compromise the surface forcing the owner to have to replace the entire scoop.
Part of doing professional detailing is knowing what to do and part of doing professional work is knowing what NOT to do.
We are miracle workers - we can only do so much.
Here's the BIG PICTURE - the OWNER is HAPPY. And that's the most important thing.

The owner being happy is the most important part...I too hate the matte decals and I have never been able to get stuff like this out either.
I have a few techniques I'd like to try but don't want to risk damage either ,,maybe I can find some trashed matte on a junk panel and try to discover a technique...who knows
