A detailer accidentally marred the clear coat while polishing and is unsure whether it's burnt polish or burned-through clear coat, and doesn't know the correct product or technique to fix it.
The user tried a less aggressive polish (3800) first but it didn't work, and now needs guidance on whether to use a more aggressive compound or accept it as burn-through. Existing product labels and online forums don't provide clear, step-by-step diagnostic and repair instructions for this specific situation.
Workarounds Described
- user tried less aggressive polish first without a structured diagnostic process
Implied Software Gaps
- AI-powered defect recognition app that guides users through the correct polish/compound selection and technique for clear coat repair
ClearCoat Rescue
ClearCoat Rescue is a mobile app that guides auto detailers through precise paint correction diagnostics. It uses a photo-based wizard to identify common defects (burned polish, burn-through, micro-marring) and recommends the exact compound, pad, and technique to fix it, or advises when repaint is needed. No more guesswork or wasted product.
