Hello All, long time reader, first time poster.
It seems i have a special issue on my hands. Allow me to start at the beginning:
I have a 2 year old BLACK BMW 3 series coupe. The car was purchased used, and it has what appears to be micro fine scratches in the clear on both the driver and passenger sides. It seems like it came from washing the car with a sponge and moving dirt and debris in a natural arm motion, from the bottom of the car up and towards the top/rear of the car.
To remedy this issue i had the car buffed with some compound, then swirlX after that, and then a non-abrasive polish after that. But that left buffer swirls, so i had to go back over it again by hand with some UC and some more swirlX. The buffer swirls/holograms came out nicely. But the scratches are still there. Is the clearcoat on this car as strong as Superman, or did I overlook something?
Basically when the sun is lower in the sky around 7:00 pm, I park the car perpendicular to the ray of light. I step back about 10 to 20 feet from the car and have a look. I can see what I believe to be the scratches that I described previously. While looking at the car, If i sway left and right, the scratches appear to animate.
Please tell me what to do, it's such a pretty car at night. but at dusk it looks horrible.
Thanks, ROBERT
