Hey guys,
I thought maybe we should start up a “hey George, how do I fix this” thread. Let’s try and keep this fun and on topic (nothing sales related), so that maybe we can build up a database and help other with the same problems.

Hey George, how do I fix this?




Ok glad you asked and happy to help. This is oxidation (Break down of the surface of the paint) . Notice how it’s only on bonnet
and not the front bar. It can be restored full gloss by using Pre Wax cleaner with a microfiber cloth, and some elbow grease. Pre wax cleaner will safely remove the oxidation on the surface without taking off too much paint. if that doesn't work a clay bar will and at the same time get rid of any stubborn dirt or stains. Follow it up with some Mothers Carnauba Wax to protect it from further UV Damage.
