So I went to town with Ultimate Compound and a microfiber pad. I got rid of the yellow spot but ended up with now a quarter-sized hazy region. I figured it just needed more TLC and polishing and went to bed.


This morning, I did a check with a white towel and polish, sure enough, blue paint came off onto the white towel.

So yes, it is possible to compound through brand new Subaru paint, by hand...

I am in profound, profound sadness right now..



EDIT: I am now saving up for a passenger side rear quarter respray. Does anyone know how much that would run me to get a job that is as good as factory (well, preferably thicker than factory clearcoat )

Find subaru or other approved auto body shops to do it


Also FYI you have to be careful with the ultimate compound, honestly your first step should've been clay bar to see if you could've gotten the spot out, then ultimate compound if it still didn't come out. At the first sign of the spot being gone and haze appearing you should've hit it with the meguiars polish.

I've done this tons of times to my 2015 FR-S with 0 issues, I've even taken out clearcoat scratches on the trunk with the 1000-2000 grit wet sand method without cutting too deep into the clear.
