This is the first time i hear someone polishing till clear coat is gone by hand...hmmm. a lot of strength was put into the paint?
Yeap i was thinking the same thing too. Really surprise me.QUOTE(lifeless_creature @ Jul 26 2016, 11:44 AM)
certain honda city are with single coating, meaning paint+clear coat were mixed as 1 layer...not traditional 2 layers, paint + clear coat..and its not even across the surface..that's what I heard earlier..
the compound u used earlier could be too abrasive for your paint condition, therefore the loss of 'gloss' is happening there. Luckily urs is silver? the condition is not that obvious...
if u go wif the touch-up paint route, lucky, u can cover the area and make it looks like original again, unlucky, it will look worse because even if the color code is the same, when it is applied on our car it may look different than our existing paint due to various reasons.
Alternatively, u can go wif non-abrasive polish and coat wif wax to "lighten" it up and make it less noticeable...which I think u shud try this way, as its more practical and cost effective, and less risky too compared to the above
Hmm interesting. So that means they don't really care whether clearcoat will be on top of the paint?the compound u used earlier could be too abrasive for your paint condition, therefore the loss of 'gloss' is happening there. Luckily urs is silver? the condition is not that obvious...
