Dark spots/blemishes

[CKLenYLA]

Just picked up my CT and it was not detailed for pickup. Gave it a was and noticed a lot of these streaks and dark spots. I got some citisurf and that didn’t seem to do much. Without having to go to BKF, any idea how I can make this not so crazy looking?

What did you use to wash it?

 

[CKLenYLA]

Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss

Windex + microfiber towel should help

I’d try the Citrisurf again, and use the blue ScotchBrite pad. I had similar discolorations and it took multiple applications, since I was treading lightly.

BKF liquid is similar, but is a bit more aggressive. In either case, don’t let the product dry, and rinse thoroughly to remove.

Have you tried WD40?

Tell me more. What have you used this for?

I've used it on steel armor (body) with good results.

So far I've just been hosing it down and drying with a leaf blower.

I did try Sprayway ammonia-free glass cleaner on the stainless (and glass) a couple days ago with excellent results: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K1ZD36P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Citisurf with some elbow grease definitely worked. Took way more work than I realized ha. Not sure wha the blemishes are but it was definitely a pain to work out
