Greetings.
I live in Tyler, TX.
I helped my sister move recently and it was raining. I put a plastic tarp with tie downs over the bed of my pick up to keep her things dry. It was just a 20 mile drive so I didn't think it would cause much harm.
It is a black truck (its a 1999 Tacoma with 160,000 miles over a two year old repaint) and when removed the tarp I noticed the paint all around the truck bed had been marred. It is like flat leopard spots on the otherwise shiny surface of the paint. I assume the clear coat is damaged, buffed to a flat haze. I have not tried anything yet.
My research has suggested it could need anything from an aggressive staged polishing, to wet sanding, to a repaint... would really like not to repaint.
I am looking for a detailer with experience in this area.
Thanks.
