So a batch of my Ultra Plush Drying Towels and a few general use microfibers got mixed in with some of our general laundry and it got laundered with regular laundry detergent (scents and softeners). Then was dried with dryer sheets... Is there a way to revive these towels? I heard boiling them for a minute or two will revive this. Has anyone tried something and have good success? Thanks.

Need some of yalls assistance in this one, and prepare for a somewhat weird post. I'm one who is very OCD about paint and I take pride in keeping my paint swirl free and shiny. I have come to peace with rock chips (I used to be super OCD about those too) but I recently got hit with a rock in a way that instead of chipping the paint (something that's normal and not super noticeable) it lifted the clear coat and caused a bubble, which might be fixable with wet sanding but most likely needs to be recleared. For this reason, its annoying the hell out of me because as a poor college student, I cant justify the money for repainting my hood because of a rock. The first pic is this bubble. The second pic is what my paint looks like. The bubble is slowly killing me inside 😂. Any help with getting over this is greatly appreciated!

OK, I hope when I do sand it, there's enough (if any) clear coat still on the bare paint to sand down to. I don't want to bit bare paint if all the clear coat got lifted off by the rock. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Thank you for your answer. That was what I was afraid of. I do have Adam's new Ceramic Spray but I would like to find a more permanent solution. I am playing around with the idea with just leaving as is. This is my daily (however my only) car and I know this stuff happens, especially during the winter. Yet, it's a huge eye sore and I do not have the money to get it repainted/recleared. Do you recommend just wet sanding it down and ceramic coating it for now, or just leaving as is? Maybe I can find a way to cover it up somehow with a sticker or something lol

Hello! I'm from Portland, OR and we were hit with some snow a few weeks back. The city freaks out when this happens and they spray all kinds of stuff on the ground. The most upsetting and almost crazy thing that they spray is tons of rocks and pebbles onto their freeways. Anyway, on my way to work, I picked up a rock and it hit my hood at a perfect angle to where it didn't chip the paint, rather lifted the clear coat. I am hoping to wet sand this to correct it since it's on my hood and unlike rock chips, this is very noticeable even at distance. Is this a viable fix? Also, my fear is that there won't be any more clear coat under this damage left so I would cause more harm than good if I do wet sand. Any input will be greatly appreciated!
