Ok guys and girls. One of my friends cars has got 2 lovely hand prints on the paint. It's been kids hands with sun tan lotion and it looks like its burnt into the paint :(

Don't want to try polishing it out as some info on the net says its prob under the clear coat... Anyone any experience of this ??

You could wet n dry it Craig if you're careful .. What kind of car is it ?

Renault Clio in silver Davy

Never heard or had any experience of this Craig but what Davy said would be worth a try, wet and dry very lightly even with a small spot of T-Cut or similar to see if it would take the blemish out, but without seeing the problem at hand is a hard decision to make, is it the paint or the clear lacquer that is the problem... ???

Tbh I've not looked at it that closely as I did a car last year and it had the same problem and polishing didn't work so thought I would canvas opinion ;)

Wet and dry.... Hmmmm never done it and don't think I'll start on a year old car....

Had experience of this quite a bit Craig.
It will be sun tan lotion or hand lotion or make up.
It just machine polishes away with a compound. Comes away very easy with the rotary.

Thanks Ian... I'll pass them onto my local body shop as I know my DA won't work...

I wouldnt pass them to a bodyshop, they would be better with a detailer. Body shop is likely just to cover there car in hollograms and buffer trails.

Ian,

I'll give you a ring if I am coming thro just to make sure you'll be in.. Give me a PM or text with rough cost to take out the mark and I can let my mate know.

Cheers ;)
