Out with the dirty girls in with the Stunners
The Lacquer isn't gone after this just a small layer taken off.
Sorry Andy I meant to reply to your lacquer problem earlier but got waylaid by something else.
The problem you have as I understand it is lacquer peeling away from the basecoat which is a common problem with cars left in the open weather. The only real option to full satisfaction would be repaint the panel/panels that are affected.
I had a Mercedes SL in Red in once when I was doing this as a business with the same problem you have and although I managed to make it better it was never going to be a full satisfaction job.
I wet flatted until I had lost the edge and then redone the clear and when dry wet flatted to blend.
It looked great from a couple of feet away but get close and you could see it.
Customer was happy but I was far from being so.
As Chris at Summit Detailing will tell you we like perfection or as near as the paint will allow.
The work on Gaz's Z4 is a more a less total wet flat and has already taken 40 hours with another 30+ to go.
Their are some serious deep stuff on Gaz's car.
I don't Paint anymore as I don't have the facilities and certainly cannot do it where I am but if you would like me to come and take a look for advice on what to do with it then I will be more than happy to do that for you.
Cheers
Russ

Indeed, you can only work with the car in front of you & every car can be improved, whether that is brand new or 50yrs old!

Wednesday night at whatever time I can stand back and say.
Yep that will do it,
Not all the Scratches will be out as some are very deep and the paint gauge is telling me I have to stop their but I would say it's going to be 90% correction..
I hear though the grapevine your's is very nice...........
Absolutely Chris.
Remember you on DW from a few years back when I was a supporter too.
A detail from a few years ago,
