How do you tell?
I finally got around to "re-detailing" my tail-gate, rear bumper and 1/4 of the bed sides from April. A week after my spring detail, my mom's husband was nice enough to strap a tarp to my truck to haul off some trash. He was lucky enough I was sleeping at the time.
It was really bad. I wish I would have taken pictures, but I got the urge to do this at about 9PM last night so there wasn't much light, and I couldn't pull my truck in far enough to use the shop lights, (yeah... garage is trashed...again....)
At least I thought it was really bad. I hit it really quick with SSR2, SSR1, Pro Polish, Ex-P, Collinite - same thing I use every time given the need. I figured I would need to pick up some SSR3 to get the job done, and didn't even know if that would get it done (yes, it looked that bad.) Anybody remember how bad my truck looked before JP helped me out the first time? It looked worse than that. Apparently it wasn't as bad as I thought - I believe a lot of the superficial marring was just LSP marring.
How do you tell when your LSP has been marred and when your paint has taken a hit? There's no way my paint got the brute of this disaster - it was way too easy to correct.
Thank you for any insight.
P.S. - Claying after only a month was quite nice, didn't pick up anything noticeable.

Have you used that LSP before? Did you apply it with the same pad and method? If so, and it didn't marr before (unless the pad was dirty), I don't see why it would marr now. Seems like it would be from your cleaning/polishing steps...
