    ok finished fixing the hilux but had to recoat it twice so 6 coats of clear. it dried for over 12 hours, then i gave the complete vehicle a wash. when i was drying it i noticed it looked faded and a slightly different colour. very very disappointing. it seemed to be stained.

    Hard to tell with pics but it possibly bloomed with the water because clear is not fully dry if this is what it is it may dry out of it try heater on it or give it another machine polish
