<![CDATA[Help for my CF hood]]>I've got some strange,cloudy residue on my hood and haven't got a clue where it came from, it's on the surface because I can feel the difference in surface texture from where the residue is and where it isn't. I was wonder what would work best to buff it out or possibly remove the residue. I don't have access to a DA and all I have are a big and small wal-mart special buffers. I was thinking about using wax remover to see if it would take it off then rewaxing it or wet sanding as a last resort, which I really don't want to do. Let me know what you think or know of any good products that might work.

I had actually thought about it but I'm 150 miles away and on a tight budget.
PM me with a quote and a time frame that this should take to do. You know, to give me a little more incentive to bring business your way:D The whole car needs a buff but the hood can do for now, it seems to be the most noticeable, plus i'm gonna remove the rest of my vinyl before I decide to buff it.

Do not wet sand and try to buff out with a dual action walwart buffer..

If your a DIY'er go buy a Dewalt buffer/ polisher turns up to 3000 RPM;s buy a Med cut pad.

1st Step use 3M high cut compound MEd cut pad 1800 RPMS

2nd Step use Megs Swirl Removal with a polish/ Final pad 1600 RPMS

3nd Step Seal with a sealant 1000 RPM

4th Step Wax on wax off Hand Wax

OR..
Bring it to SLD and I'll see what I can do..
