Ha!  sorry....I just got out my basic polish and polisher and started with that.  And that was all that was necessary.  I guess I though with a 9H hardness, fixing it would be more difficult.

BRILLIANT!  That did it!  Thank you so much.  Now I don't have to look in disgust, at the screw up on the left rear door.  It's beautiful!

Well I guess that's where I need help as well.  What does "moving up" consist of. I don't know which compound is considered more aggresive, or which pad is more (or less aggresive).  Is there a link or some info you could share on that front?

Excellent!  I'll give it a shot.  Thanks!

And yeah, that's kind of what I was hoping for as time passed, over the last 1.5 years, but...in the sun, I can still see the area clear as day.  So I want to fix it.

Thanks again.

I have a question regarding fixing a ceramic coating mistake.

I ceramic coated my car two years ago, this October.  While I'm VERY pleased with how it turned out, I apparently had an interruption while coating my left rear door and I ended up leaving the coating on the part of the door (without wiping it off after flashing).  After a year and a half, I can still see the difference, when the sun hit it and it turns my stomach.

My question.....how do I fix that?  I can post a pic of what it looks like, if it'd help.

Thanks in advance,

S

Yes. It’ll be a dull spot, or even a spot that feels rough. It’s coating that wasn’t removed properly. The Adams coating comes off with a polish. So a finishing polish will make quick work of the small high spots. Removing the whole coating takes a bit more effort, but isn’t too difficult. 

Awesome!  Thank you!

You can either try a little brilliant glaze on a towel and see if it’ll eliminate the high spot. If it doesn’t, you can take a finishing polish to it and knock down the high spot. 

 

You’re not in big trouble with Adam’s Polishes coatings when this happens. 

THANK YOU for the advice. Much appreciated. Please note though, that I'm a DIY'er, not a professional detailer.

So...how does a high spot present itself?  This is a darker region with some roughness.  Is that a high spot?

Thanks again. ? 

Hey everyone. :)

WELP!  I did the full prep for the ceramic coating and did the ceramic coating myself (and my back is reminding me why I don't do this).  However....I messed up one of the doors.  I'm not sure if I put it on too thick in this area, or waited too long to wipe it off (or just didn't wipe it off at all), but I'd like to hear your alls input on how to remove the Adams Ceramic coating from a door panel, so I can reapply it properly.

Thanks in advance,

S :)
