Stupid mistake...

Finished washing the car yesterday, where I also decided to remove all silicone crap the tire shop put on my new tires (man, that stuff is a b*tch to get off). As I pulled it into the garage, I hear a "poosh" and see a lot of white spray on the passenger side. I drove over the tire cleaner bottle...lol. It was pretty full so some spray got all over the passenger side.

I hose it off immediately but there were some spots on my black paint...I became frantic and tried washing it off with chemical boys citrus, no nice. Tried dawn, no dice (the spots just looked like water beads in the shape of how the spray landed on the paint).

I ran and got my orbital out and used megs swirl remover 2.0 on a light blue polishing pad. Success!

Now I had to do the whole passenger side with it =/

There went an additional few hours I didn't plan on spending. Also hosed off the undercarriage really well but most of it flew out the side onto the driveway. I always walk around the car to move stuff out of the way but it was getting dark. Ended up getting all of it off though.

Live and learn.

That sucks, gotta hate it when you put something in the perfect place to get destroyed and then you go about giving it a direct hit
At least you knew what to do and had the proper buffer & compound to do the trick. Now it's screaming for a complete wax job
