nasty.....

wax and grease remover is a type of thinners/prepsol isn't it?

if so, it's dissolved your paint....

Unlucky for me...

Well I got some buffing compound out and did the bonnet. It all came out. So I'll go over the whole car in the morning... It should come good.

I think I'm with you now also... Looks good without the clear...

This will be under a car cover for most of the time, unless its being driven. So im hoping I wont even be washing it all that often.

I'll get some more pictures tomorrow.

I'll be throwing some up shortly of my Mini's new black roof too. Was a little worried at first as the paint didn't go on quite as even as I'd have liked, but after less than 5 minutes of wet sanding she already looks a lot better. I'll finish sanding and polish tomorrow, might get before/after pics.
