Rough surface after detail

Hi,

I have a carbon grey TSX that I got it professionally detailed about two months ago. I've been busy and out of town since then so I did not get to wash it until yesterday. After the wash I discovered that the surface is rough already, especially the hood area. I was wondering if it got rough because of the long period in between washes.

Did the detailer clay your car? Sounds like it may need to be clayed.

Exactly......Its something you could certainly do on your own in about 1/2 hrs time (includes resealing).

If you live in an area with traffic od industry the fallout can adhere to the paint surface if left too long Might require clay barring .. its a DIY and not too hard at all. Then rewax the car.

Its not hard to do and a Sat morning is all you need to wash/clay and add a layer of wax/sealant.

Here is a DIY instruction Claying
