I have a few questions for you detailing guru's out there. Now, don't be suprised....I have no clear coat. It was a free paint job from my grandfather. My truck is black and I have a problem with spotting. Is there any way to remove these spots with a cleaner? I know it is safe for clear coat, but can I use a swirl remover on my paint without a negative effect? I plan on doing a full detail soon to make it spotless and everything clean. Thanks in advance guys.

 

You can use swirl-x. I just worked on a car last week that had no clear coat and heavy oxidation. We used Ultimate Compound from Meguires and it did a great job, then add #21 and finished it off with Meguires Gold class past wax. This worked for me but im sure some of the others can help with better products.

 

Why wouldnt you have clear coat, doesnt it look like flat color ide be werry putting any thing on paint with out clear coat, have a chance to burn threw paint and ruen the work that was done. You really need to get the paint looking good again and then clear coat it or you will have those same issues with spots and debre in the paint.

 

Well its a really hard paint, polyurethane I think. I haven't had problems with damage, I keep it waxed. It's just the spots and stuff on the surface.

 

Polyurethane doesn't need a clear coat. You should not use conventional abrasive products on it, you may need marine products.

 

Woah, I didn't know that. So go find boat cleaners?

 

I'd probably discuss this with a professional first. The other option is to try products on a small inconspicuous area first.
