Stains in Caviar finish
My last two cars were G35x/G37xs in Obsidian Black. I am used to finishes getting stained.
The issues with he Caviar kind of snuck up on me over my first 6 months of ownership. I noticed one stain on the trunk lid where something was had pooled
in a droplet the size of a thumbnail. The other thing I just noticed was a streak on the hood, like something splattered while driving. I keep a spray bottle of distilled water
in the garage to immediately dilute/gently remove any tree debris or droppings. I never let anything sit. My parking garage at work leaks, and that water carries all sorts of crud.
However, I don't think that is a source. I tried to work out the stains using just some liquid wax, nothing aggressive. Helped, but did not eliminate.
They can only be seen in a certain light/angle, so not too bad. My friend of 20 years is a detailer, and I will have him look at it. What's your experience?
