danielackland Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hi all. I came across this mark on my car after shampooing and waxing it. It seems to be under the paint as the paint or gloss/shine isn't damaged. could someone advise/help me to what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ah . . I see it now in your first post - hard to see - has the area affected been resprayed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielackland Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 i dont think so, i had a chip near the ford badge but i dont think this particluar area was affected... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I see a large area of a darker greyish / silver colour & a smaller lighter area & a darker still small blob - I'm no paint expert but it looks like a bad respray or touch up to me ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielackland Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 hmm.. ok. The odd thing about it is that this has been fine the last couple of months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Try a tiny bit of T Cut applied by hand very gently & see if it stays or disappears & that will help ascertain if it's under the lacquer or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielackland Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ok thank you. I will try and get better clear photo tonight becuase my shaddow is also reflecting on the car. Also i use the TCut last tonight but i think it wont make a difference as it seems to be under the paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Is it metallic paint with a lacquer top ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 If it's not a paint or lacquer defect maybe it's tree sap or bird dropping residue - both of which are acidic & can discolour paint / lacquer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielackland Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 if im honest im not 100% sure. But im certain that the amendments/touch up wasnt on that area. Its quite frustrating becuase my car is pretty much 100% clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
