How to fix damages cause by tree sap?
When I got it the spot in question (picture attached) still felt rough to the touch. So I wash and clean and used Turtle tar and tree sap remover on the spots. I also used clay. Now it is smooth to the touch but the spot can still be seen ash show in the picture. The only think I can think of is to use a paint polish. But paint polish really cut into the paint. Any suggestion or techniques. Proven techniques for this sort of thing is most appreciated. thanks |

Do you own an orbital buffer? Taking that out is going to require a cutting pad and some compound, and probably a finishing polish afterwards with a polishing pad if you really want to level down and remove the defect. If you cleaned it well and used clay and its all smooth, then it is etched into the clearcoat and won't come out with some correction work.

Phil would suggest the Surbuf pads with M101 or M100 compound (very aggressive), then following with FG400 and MF cutting pads, then Uber Green/Orange with Sonax perfect finish 4/6.
A lot of steps, but probably can get away without sanding.
