OB Owners: Find any unusual white wavey patterns on your paint when the sun directly reflects of it?

Im sure it has something to do directly with the sunlight because as you get closer to see whats wrong, you can actually see the pattern move .

It gets annoying...maybe that swifer duster I used left some sort of magnetic patterns over it (if that makes any sence).


(Ill post pics when I get a good shot.)

 

orange peel texture???

 

huh?

 

thought you meant the orange peel texture on the rear where the emblems are there is an orange peel texture.

 

Not its all over the place. On every panel and every part where theres paint.

To give you a hint, It kinda looks like this but in a bigger scale and not as exagerated as this pattern:



Its only visible in direct sunlight and as long as your within 30 feet of the car

 

it's the coveted deep wet look

 

I know what you mean by wavy patterns, but I would not call them white.

 

yeah I have this too.... it pisses me off.

 

Have you waxed recently? Maybe the wax is uneven. Happens with carnuba paste type waxes, but I use zaino and nanowax now.

 

i think you just have hella swirl marks from using the swifer duster.

get yourself some really nice microfiber towels and some zaino z5 and z-PC which both help to remove swirl marks

PM Jon913D, he sells both products plus he is a professional detailer so he can answer question on how to properly fix that

 

those are swirls! take care of your paint, OB is a BITCH!!! try some polish, then wax, my car had those marks and no OTC product would remove them, i got some menzerna final polish II and it took care of it


btw go to autopia.org if you really wanna learn how to take care of it, theres only like 100,000 pro detailers there

 

Spider marks or swirls or orange peel--all bad

 

can you take a picture and post it up for us?

 

It's orange peel. Every car has it. The problem with black is that it's the only car color that acts like a mirror hence it will reflect and refract light much more vividly.

 

Uh there not swirls.... unless swirls move around whenever you move .

It kinda seems like a 3d wave!!! its all over my car and gets annoying. At least its only [very] noticeable in direct sunlight.
