Bad day today...

I got the Dissolver today from plasti dip... spray and rinse.. got it all off..

but Now I have a big a$$ scratch on my door.. pillar, fenders.. I think it's from the clay bar..I had a used clay bar I used first...dang it!!

and my truck is all milky from the lube.. won't rinse off.. fuq!

Got my Locker down console safe...installed it.. but the dang thing moves.. one side leg doesn't even touch the floor...phoooooooooooooq!

fuq my life..

Meguiars' clay lube made your paint milky? That is the first time I have ever heard of that. Did you try to hand wash the truck? Did you let the clay lube dry and not wipe it off or something? Dirty clay probably f'd up your paint. Not smart. Clay is expensive but I go through a ton of it just to prevent the chance of more scratches.

I was praying the lube and scrubbing with clay for 20 mins.. then I rinse and scrubbed it with the car wash stick..

Today I spray the dissolvent... and rinsed it then wet a microfiber towel and washed the area.. but when I came home the milky clouds on my truck is still on..

Interesting... Clay lube has never done that on any of the 100's of cars I have clayed. Ever. I really hope by "car wash stick" you don't mean the brush at the car wash. Without seeing the truck I can't tell you what you have done or what needs to be done to fix it. If the paint is milky or cloudy it sounds like you tried to use something to remove the overspray that you should not have used. Take some pictures.

Something is certainly wrong here. Take pics. You're not doing something right. I used nothing but that Meguiars clay kit for years and years. I just recently in the last year switched to some more expensive clay and a more difficult clay lube to use for the extra lubricity.

I have no idea how that clay lube could have possibly caused anything. Its literally just a super concentrated spray detailer. I will say that I HAVE seen some spray sealants on vehicles act really really dodgy when they are sprayed with other chemicals that don't play well together. I have no idea what you have done OP. Take pics.


Hand washing may or may not take it off. A heavier soap to water ratio than you normally use might do the trick but it also might strip whatever wax or sealant that you have on the truck off. Take pics so I can see what the paint actually looks like.

I kid you not, I had a guy hand wash his car with a scotch bright pad thinking it would remove the bugs easier and prevent him from having to use a clay bar. The paint is beyond fixable. Clear coat is half flaked off and what is left isn't worth fixing for obvious reasons.
