Greddy-Matt Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Hi Been using a meguires clay bar today, I've used these bars for a few years now with the speed detailer and always got good results before but it doesn't seem to want to shift some of the smaller particles on the z's paint for love nor money. I spent hours today going over and over the same panels without any joy, the little black flecks (that look like brake dust) usually get smaller, smudge and then eventually disappear but I cant shift them, I tried using paint cleaner and a polish on them without results, does ayone have an idea what else I could try please?

HEADPHONES Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Try a fallout remover. I use one called Iron X. I have a thread on here showing it's use on a White mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greddy-Matt Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 That Iron x looks good spot on, I'll try that first and then attack it with a more butch clay bar if that doesn't shift it, that'll teach me for buying a car near an oil refinery!

LRF4N Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Usually after claying and polishing tougher particles come off by scraping them with ur nail. Are they really that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'd do Iron X (or similar) then Tardis. Then I'd clay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
