Last night i went to my friends house and noticed I had little white spots all over my black gt so i got out my quick detailer and tried to remove them but couldn't. I assumed they were under the wax so today I washed with dawn and got some wax off not sure if i got it all though. How do i know if the wax is coming off? The spots look like the dust from Poor Boys SSR 2.5 after its broken down, i tried using more SSR2.5 and SSR1 with the proper pads and speeds everyone suggested in my black is a pain thread. I got some of it off but cant completely remove this stuff. I've used the SSR 2.5 before and never had this, last week I used Meguiars Gold Class wax after I polished and glazed the car. So i assume it's some kind of mixture between the paste wax and the SSR. Here are a few pictures, it's pretty bad you can even see them at night when a little light hits the paint. Any help is appreciated thanks guys.

 

Have you tried a clay bar?

Just from that picture, you have pretty bad spiderwebbing... if you said you've used the SSR2.5 & 1 on it, I'd say you aren't properly breaking the polish down or putting enough time into every spot.You shouldn't have *any* swirls/spiderwebbing after using those polishes correctly. I know it sounds irrelevent to your postbut judging from the swirls/spiderwebbing you aren't using the polishes correctly or you aren't putting in enough work on each spot to remove the white spots AND swirls.



It looks like someone close to where you were parked was spray painting something...

 

thats what i thought but my car has been in my driveway and my neighbors havent been painting anything lately, i have no idea where it could have came from. Using the SSR2.5 i got some of it. those are pictures from before. I guess it possible that it may have traveled through the air but no other cars on my block have been affected. I really hope it's not paint, my car is a month old but it did sit on a lot for a little while before i bought it. And if it is paint then what do i do?

EDIT: yes i tried a clay bar and it did not help at all.

 

No polish or butter wax or quick fix would ever cover that up, so you can count out it coming from the factory/dealer that way.

You haven't seen your neighbors paint anything lately... it may have not of even happened in your neighborhood. I've seen parking lot painters spraying and I've watched clouds of overspray carry across the lot all over cars.

If it's paint, it's adhered to the top of your clear coat. Keep working the SSR2.5 with the PC on speed 6, not 5. Work slow and it will eventually come out. In between steps, I hid it with a clay bar every time.

I had a major boo-boo, I crazy glued my buffer pad backing together and it never dried somehow, I turned the PC on and sprayed crazy glue all over my car. It wasn't until about 3 hours later that I noticed I had rock hard crazy glue stuck to my paint. It took a ton of elbow grease with a clay-bar and SSR2.5 to get it off my car completely.

 

i was using speed 6 and a lot of elbow grease on the hood and i got a good amount of it. Couldn't get all of it but i got a good chunk on the hood, it's going to take A LOT of work i assume. It's really annoying me too. I also don't remember parking in a lot anywhere either it could have been from the bridge, they are always working on it. What if i can't get it all out what do i do then? Would a professional detailer be able to get it all out for me?

 

The only thing a professional detailer is going to (to the best of my knowledge) is clay bar & use a harsher compound to remove the spots.

I wouldn't even bother trying to figure out where it came from, I would just get to work!

If you are seeing results from your work, although they aren't what you want it to be - keep working! As long as it keeps coming out, I wouldn't stop! If you can't get them off or don't want to put in the hard work, just pay a detailer.

 

it's working to an extent it took me almost an hour and a half for the hood alone and its still noticeable though not as much. I used the meguiars gold class paste wax over the opti seal, shouldn't that have protected it from getting to my clearcoat? I just walked outside and looked at it, it's really bothering me. I might just bring it to a professional detailer

 

The meguiars gold class paste wax probably removed the opti-seal. I don't think you could top anything with it...

 

it looks like i'll be sticking with the opti seal its a lot easier. Now i need to get rid of these damn paint splatters before i lose my mind. Every week is something new with this car. Three days after i got it, a girl backed into it and removed some paint from my bumper so i got it fixed. A week after that my tire pressure alarm came on becuase my tires kept losing air, i had to tighten the valve stems. Last week i noticed my suspension creaks and squeaks when it sits and the temperature drops 15-20 degrees. I have to bring it in for that and now these stupid paint spots, I've had the car for a month I can't take anymore of this lol

 

Is it under warranty? I wouldn't let little squeeks and rattles drive you crazy, every single car has them. I used to stress myself out over those things, instead I just make sure take care of all the interior rattles and squeeks and let the rest of the car make all the noise it wants. Sometimes luck just doesn't exist and anythign and everything is going to happen, eventually it'll all come to an end and you'll have some trouble free time to enjoy it for all it's worth!

As long as she starts& runs reliably...
