Default Paint work Problem....

I made a huge mistake of sticking my car straight into the garage the other day covered with water droplets whilst the car was still hot.

Usaly not big deal, but this time the droplets on the bonnet have left nast white marks behind. Rest of the car is fine, obviously the heat on the bonnet did the damage.

Depsite T-Cut and polish you can still see them. (I have oticed after leaving the car out in the sun most of yesturday they seem to have faded a fraction).

Any suggestions as to how to get these marks out? T-cut deffo helped but I'm not sure how many times to use this on the bonnet although it is fairly recent paint. Should i take it to the pros to sort out before I do any damage?

Cheers Dan

You shouldn't be using T-Cut at all really...

Start with the least harsh products, and progress upwards.

First, clay the affected area, then polish with a paint cleanser (P21s paint cleanser is the best). If this doesn't work, move up to an abrasive polish, such as Poorboy's SSR1, and rework the area.
