Can I?...

So I did my annual wash, clay, decontaminate, Polish, glaze, seal, wax.

I walk out to my car a few weeks later (after maybe one or two short drives) and catch some spider was off a perfect sum angle. Shit right?

So my question is - can I spot polish and then re seal and wax these spots? Best to re do whole car?

Better (being relative to time and results) to fill in with glaze and then re wax?

What do you think? I really like to avoid spending the 9 hours out front again but will if that's what I need to.



Thanks in advance

I don't know the term, "catch some spider was off a perfect sum angle", but you could just re-polish, seal, etc. the one panel. No need to do the whole car over again.

spray the area with a 1:1 solution of rubbing alcohol and water and it will strip the paint to the clearcoat, then just Polish, glaze, seal and finally wax. hope this helps

I think you meant to say that you saw a few spider scratches in the sunlight? Can't really see any defects due to the clouds other then the normal orange peel. That looks like a MM Crazy Pile towel?

If it's only in one place, a spot fix would be fine.

Lol sorry guys. Posted from tapatalk and have fat finger syndrome (and apparently don't review what I type). Sorry about that.

Yes, caught some spiderweb scratches on the sun at the perfect angle.

I would redo the whole panel rather than just that small spot.
