Milky white blemish on clear coat
Posted by Henri L [Email] (#92) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Henri L) on Wed, 20 Apr 2016 11:25:21
Alert me when someone posts in this thread:
There is a milky white ring on the trunk deck lid of my Triumph TR8, next to the fuel filler cap, about the size of a bottle of ‘fuel additive’ or similar; this blemish was there when I bought the car and I suspect that a bottle, that was wet from its unknown content, was placed on the paint and allowed to wet the finish long enough to cause the blemish. The content may have been a petroleum based additive or alcohol based; the paint is a base/clear respray.

Any suggestions and/or products to restore the clear coat section that is now milky white, other than respray?

BTW, the clear coat on my Viggen and 92X is in great shape because I do not use fuel additives!

Thanks in advance...
