detailing the spoiler, rock chips? Clear coat question
Ok first and foremost i am wondering how to wash wax buff detail etc under the spoiler of my 99 trans am... do you guys take it off or something? i am going to buy a PC dual action and i am curious.
Second i do not have pictures but i will post pics when i get home on if i can buff and polish them out and if not what my options are.
Third i have a few spots where clear coat has bubbled and been taken off i believe. What can i do to fix this problem?
also what is your guys method to removing sticky residue from a sticker i presume (previous owner) seems like it has been there for years i tryed a razor blade and it knicked the paint before i got any residue off.. this is located on the rear plastic bumper.
Thanks in advance!!

Ive never heard of taking the spoiler off but If you just take a rag you should have enough clearance to get underneath to wash and wax. I have no problem doing it myself.
As far as rockchips, wax can help, I know paste scratch removers can do wonders for smaller rock chips. When I had a black 01 monte carlo I had a bottle of black turtle wax rock chip and scratch remover and did great filling those little white nicks. Im not sure if turtle wax makes some of that in different colors though.

That's all from my experience.. I could be wrong. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

If your handy you can use some gloss black duplicolor (or krylon) paint. Spray it in the cap or a plastic cup, use the back of a match (opposite of burning end) dip it into the paint, and then VERY lightly touch inside the chip. It should fill it in, but be prepared to wetsand (2000 grit) to level it out. Then polish it up. Try it on an inconspicuous chip first.
