Hazy Paint~
The paint on the box has turned for the worse again. It allways seems to be the hood..But anyway the paint becomes hazy and almost faded out looking..Its not at the point to where you can notice it far away but in certain light it looks horrible.(well most light I guess)..Shuld I Clay Bar it ot should I have it buffed ? I have done the Mothers 3 step system on it last summer and that merly worked for a few months ...and know it looks like shit again..

hehe. If I understand correctly, he enjoys doing detailing jobs on the side. Any time you look at the pics of my Crown Vic, keep in mind that when he got it 11 years ago it was light blue from oxidation.

Too bad the 3M junk is typically sooooo expensive .... maybe if one day I get one of the cars "deserving" of it .... then again, the requisite 3000-grit Trizact pads that work so well for getting a surface totally ready for 3M Machine Glaze are amazingly hard to locate .....2012 Mazda5 Touring | Finally working on the LTD again!

Im guessing it's basecoat since the paint is stock ?
Thanks for the info P72FORD. When you say #3,9 etc are you talking about Meguirars or 3M and Machine meaning Buffer ?

The 3m stuff isn't that pricey at all compared to other competitors. I get mine at an auto body supply shop nearby but I'm sure if you did a search under Google shopping you'd find a good deal. I love 3m's Perfect-it Paste Wax.sigpic
