Default Cant detail?

My aunt(previous owner of the car) told me that this car cant be detailed because something to do with the paint, she did it about 4 years ago and it left a stain in the hood, so i was wondering what kind of treatment i can do to the paint so it will shine more? a wax?

Whoever detailed it must have used to much Compound while buffing it.

Yes that is the polish.

If you know of a really good place then I would try them if you want to.

BUT be sure to mention what happened with your Aunt to them before they even begin to work on it and see what they say.

Or you can try the polish. But you can also still buy the polish and keep it for inbetween details to keep it polished.

That 16oz Bottle will be enough to do your car about 10 times.
Yesterday I did both of my cars you will see the pics of.
It is a new product that I tried for the first time yesterday. It works good.
I did both of these Vehicles with it and didn't even us a 1/4 of the bottle.

He Clay Barred it. Cleaned all dirt and other stuff off the Car before waxing it.
The Clay bar takes off stuff that the soap won't take off.

You use that and Window Cleaner over the entire car.
Then use the Wax. My Wax came with a sponge to apply it to the car.

No you spray window cleaner on the paint the use the clay bar. The window cleaner keeps the Clay wet.
