So i was claying with water as a lube i forgot that i washed off all the soap and now my hood has some nasty scratches.

Look at the pictures you can see how badly i messed up, i need some help on what will be the best polish or sealant to make my car remove all the swirls etc.








thank you.

Do you have any pictures...?

Try using a clay lube or at the very least some very diluted soap (16:1), if not buy a gallon of Optimum No Rinse and dilute that, because lubrication is critical when claying.

hey i do have the lube iwas just thinking if i can do it with soap but forgot i washed the soap off. I just made pictures it looks nasty i need some help on the sealant.

Normally a 'pure sealant' will not remove swirling. You would need a polish like Menz SIP or 106ff or something similar combined with the right pad and it should remove most of these swirls. You are using a machine right?

Look at some of the pictures in the 'show and shine' section of the forum to get an idea of what products will remove those.

Yeah, next time, use lots and lots of lube and VERY light pressure when claying.

Remember, even with lube you can marr the paint. That's why I am always nervous about claying when I'm not polishing aftewards.

thank you guys for the help, the funny thing 1 week ago my car was at a " professional detail shop" and he only used 1 coat of sealant and said car is good , when i got home next day in the sun all the swirls stayed the same. waste of 160 bucks thats why once again i will only trust myself and yes i use porter cable.

Here is a list i made tell me if anything is not needed.

1. Menzerna Intensive Polish PO 91E via orange CCS
2. Menz 106ff via white CCS
3. jetseal109
4. P21S Carnuba Wax.

thank you.

i would get sip instead of the ip cause your infinity has a really hard clear coat.

have fun.

Get the whole Menzerna line... its always good to have them

[Usjdmtuner]

those swirl marks can easily be removed with Porter cable providing you have the right tools,patience and time .. get 5.5" pads and work 2x2 small section and try less aggressive combo before you use more aggressive ones..

it takes a lot of time and effort and so do it right the first time..

If you are looking for inexpensive/yet effective clay solution try this:
1/3 oz of Poorboy's SS&S mix with 2 oz of DP 4-in-1 and mix with 30 oz of water...
I made it up myself after trying Pinnacle clay lube...But don't add more soap, as you will dry out your clay bar.
