paint chip on hood (can dr. colorchip fix this?)




some sort of brownish discoloration (is this rust or some contaminant in the paint and can claying it make it go away?)



some lines on my bumper from something. when I rub my fingers across it I can feel very slight indents but I have no idea what they are. I tried scratch x and it didnt do anything. I might be some stress lines from bumping into something in the garage? anything I can do to fix this?



thanks for your advice, these really bother me

 

I'm not sure about the first pic, as the chip seems to be down to the base paint.

As for the hairline scratches have you tried T-cut? I dunno if you guys have that in the states, you probably do, maybe under a different name.

 

Seems you have PG, too, right? I've used Dr. Colorchip on a variety of chips on mine -- from minor chips to one that looks very similar to yours (down to base). DRC will cover it up, but for deeper chips you have to layer it. IMHO, on PG's, the fixes are quite obvious, but it does look better than what one had to begin with.

The brown spot looks like bird poop that dried up. Try clay first to see if it goes away. If not, try something a bit more aggressive.

Those lines look like stress cracks from hitting something. The bumper flexes, but the paint doesn't flex as much, so it tends to crack when hit. Sadly there's no real way of fixing it short of repainting.

 

If its minor scratches then try buffing them out but if its stress cracks then there is no good easy solutiong.

 

I use swirlx and scratchx on my cars clearcoat.... clay bar works wonders too. As for the first pic, that's a rock chip.. u need a touch up paint. Welcome to the soft paint of Infiniti lol

Here's a video of everything u can do...

Well the 1st and the last one is going to be tough since you have to get it re-painted. But the rest of them you can buff it out. Good luck man

 

Yep it looks like your out of luck on the hood an bumper ones. but the others you can try to clean it up with the polish/waxes.

I have some marks on my black G and I am going to try and clean them up this weekend.

I am going to say it again, but this paint BLOWS.... one of the only bad things on this car.

I am a bit afraid of messin up the paint but we shall see.
