milky haze after ceramic coating?
So about a month ago I had the car paint corrected / ceramic coated. Car came out amazing. Then about 2 weeks later, I noticed around the passenger side height, a milky hazy look to it. Imo it was almost like it was compounded with an "aggressive" compound and they forgot to polish it out.
So I told the place that did it about it and sent them pics. Of course they said bring it back and explained sometimes if the ceramic coating doesn't wipe off completely it can happen. But about 20-30 mins later, they redid that spot and it looked great. Fast forward 2 more weeks. Went to dust the car off and sure as shit, whats back, that entire area. I called the place back and, long story short, it was gonna be a month b4 they could get me in. I talked with another place and they got me in this past Monday. he pretty much said the same thing. Ceramic coating dried to quick and for $50, they redid the section. And again, when it was done, it looked completely gone. Well, I went to take out the trash today and when I looked at the car what did I see... the SAME milky haze! So can anyone tell me, whats going on here. Is it actually the ceramic coating (I wanna say its called something 9H or 10H) or is there other issues. |

It looks like it was wet-sanded and then coated with ceramic. Maybe they missed those areas when they were polishing?

Find another shop. Their materials and/or technique are bad.

Its hard to tell from the pictures, but to me it looks like wet sanding marks that need to be buffed out correctly? Was the front wet sanded?

Sorry for the lack of update.
So it was a mix of the ceramic was put on wrong with the compounded clear wasnt polished all the easy out. Aka this missed a spot. a big spot. I did take it to a different place and it took about an hour but its all fixed. |
