Saviourwu 1st Gear March 10, 2011 Share March 10, 2011 Hi guys, After my recent servicing with a workshop, my car paint surface feels rough at many places, like very fine sandpaper. Originally it was very smooth and slick. Any idea what are those things on my car paint? Dust, metal particles? Can they be easily removed by Claybar? Or should i go back to the workshop and demand them to help me clean up? Should have done detailed inspection before i leave the workshop... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branteo Clutched March 10, 2011 Share March 10, 2011 Hmmm ... a tad tough to make the workshop bear responsibility - esp. since you are assumed to have checked your ride, and have no complains, prior to driving off. You can always try thou. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nzy Twincharged March 11, 2011 Share March 11, 2011 I think can use claybar to remove. But usually will cause some marring. From workshop might be paint or metal filings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atec1267 1st Gear March 11, 2011 Share March 11, 2011 you most likely kana the clear coat from a near by spray shop, you can either use a rubbing compound to remove it or send it to polishing company to get it remove, clay bar quite hard and take longer time to remove.

Fcw75 Hypersonic March 11, 2011 Share March 11, 2011 There's a spray painting workshop near the workshop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLR8 1st Gear March 11, 2011 Share March 11, 2011 That's quite common if there's a paintshop nearby. I have encountered this many many times. What you got on your paintwork is left over laquer residue which settles onto your car while they are doing spray painting. Feels something like fine sandblasting. Use claybar and paint polish and it should go away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have any orbiter polisher, using hand polish doesn't work the last time i tried. next time will try send to another workshop for servicing...

In this case, don't think the WS would accept responsibility and clean up the surface. No choice, have to ownself do the cleaning. Hope all is well now. I better take note of surrounding workshops when sending my car for servicing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
