    Is this fixable?

    Is this fixable?

    During a hail storm I ended up putting a large shop mat on the hood of my car and in the morning I saw foggy looking spots of paint, kind of looks like sun faded clearcoat, but it never looked like this before.

    I believe there was some type of fluid on bottom of the mat that caused this. But I wanted to know if there is something I can do to fix this.

    First, since this is your first post,

    Welcome to AutogeekOnline!


    Could be moisture in the very top surface of the clearcoat. We've seen this before.

    Have you or can you move the car into the sun on a warm/hot day? (I don't know where you live?)

    Besides that, if it's not warm or hot where you live you could try warming the paint up with a hair dry and see if this works.

    IF it's not moisture in the clearcoat - then I would try either polishing or compounding.


    You don't know what you can do until you try.

    If it is some type of chemicall besides moisture/water, then your best bet will be to apply one of these,

    One-step cleaner/wax
    Polish
    Compound

    If the staining is only topical - you can probably remove it.

    Meguiar's Ultimate Polish, Compound or their Cleaner/Wax can be found at just about any store and we carry it on the AG store.

    All three can be applied by hand.
