Help! My paint is in jeopardy!

Why?

 

Actually, their bug and tar remover is the only product of theirs that I trust. Most of the rest they make is junk.

 

I have been using the Turtle Wax chrome polish for years--It is great and works better than most other chrome polishes I have tried.... I use Auto Glym's bug and tar remover--works well.....

 

I got the tar/grit off, but it looks like the substance took off the clear coat and created some pitting in the underlying paint.

After waxing/polishing, the area has some swirlies around it and you can see the two different levels of paint if you look closely under fluorescent lights. The tar also marred some of the matte black paint at the rear of the bonnet.

The paint flaw is not even visible but I can tell my baby is suffering. When I decide to remedy the situation, what would you all recommend? Is this a touch-up or a full repaint of the bonnet?

I may post some photos tomorrow, though the issue might not even be visible in them.

 

Modern paints use a hardener and can even handle laquer thinner. In a situation like this I always try soap and water first, then the bug and tar remover, then as a last resort enamal reducer or laquer thinner or rubbing compound or polishing compound. Try the laquer thinner or any other substance on an area like the inside of a door etc first to see if it will have any negative effects on the paint.
