I was washing my car on a nice afternoon but i didnt bother wiping the excess water off, then when it came to nighttime, the water froze over the hood of my car and made these ridgid line marks on the hood of my car, these line wont rub out or wash out, here are some pics:











they are very faint, but when in light, they are visible.

How would I go about fixing this? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

 

i bet waxing will remove em out.

 

Word..wax it

 

I'd say either buy a new camera, get a light box, or get a tripod. Or all three.

Oh and it looks like you need to buff your hood out with some cleaner followed by some wax

 

id wax

 

WAX on WAX off...

 

Ok guys thanks for the input, I'll go in to some professional place and get it waxed, thanks!

 

I'd repaint it... a different color.

I'm just playing. Waxing will probably greatly reduce how easy it is to see in the light.

 

contaminants in the clear coat. Here is what you do. Wash the car again (Use deep crystal by Meguairs). Clay Bar it appropriately. Cleaner Wax. and then NXT Wax it, you should be good.

 

yea these few nights here have been cold, followed by a nice warm day....u shoulda wiped off as much as u can.....bah...

hey u go to the pay-n-spray? kennedy/glidden.

 

Best option!

 

Nah, I wash it myself.

 

dat place is bomb....soap/water/wax for like a dollar

 

Dont spend money on some professional place. WAX THAT SHIT YOURSELF and save yourself some money. All it takes is a little elbow grease.

 

 

 

Not to sound like a noob or anything, I've never waxed my car before, and frankly I don't know how, so i'm afraid i'll do a bad job myself (like leaving streaks on it and stuff).

 

It really isn't that hard, just follow the directions on the bottle/can.

 

Yep...I agree. Clay bar will take it out. And it really isn't that hard. Just make sure you read the bottle/can and you'll be fine. Give it a shot. You can't really screw anything up if you're not using a machine.

 

Is a buffer machine or whatever necessary?

 

u seen those mr cl ean things and the simoniz ones? u can try those..

 

Probably not, just do it by hand. Don't go using a machine if you don't know how, you can really mess up the paint if you do!
