Spots on Vinyl Strips

[markdinic]

I applied cquartz on my new car's strips, which was probably a bad idea now that I read up on it. The vehicle now shows these spots despite not getting wet for a full week after applying. What can I do to fix this? I'm freaking out...

Welcome to the forum.

Has the car been washed since this happened?

[markdinic]

Yes it's been washed but water was not left on it to dry. I tried rubbing them off gently with a MF, but that wasn't successful. It was not left in the rain nor got wet from a sprinkler. It was dry all week here. The day I washed it is when I noticed them when I was drying. I'm so perplexed as to how and why this happened.

Are these matte vinyl pieces?

[markdinic]

Yes matte finish on a camaro.

You may want to check with Corey and find out if Spotless is ok to use on matte finishes. Unless other here can chime in.

Yes you can - BUT because it cannot be polished, we need to be extra careful with all chemicals not to stain it.

In other words:
Do not leave anything spotless on the paint too long
Do not let stuff dry on the paint
Do not use on hot surface
Do not use in the sun
