MAXL Messed Up Your Paint? Here’s How to Fix It

Used MAXL’s ceramic coating and now your paint looks worse than before? Don’t panic — here’s how to fix it the right way and get your gloss back.


🚨 Common Problems After Using MAXL

We’ve heard it over and over — someone applies MAXL Triphene or one of their other coatings and ends up with:

  • Cloudy or hazy finish
  • Swirl marks from towel drag or bad prep
  • Patchy high spots that won’t wipe off
  • Loss of gloss after just a few days

These issues aren’t permanent — but they do require the right fix. Let’s walk through how to safely correct your paint.


🧽 Step 1: Use a Real One-Step Polish

MAXL coatings often leave surface tension or tackiness behind, which can cause micro-marring. To reverse the damage, you need a polish that can cut and finish in one go.

The best tool for the job? Picture Perfect Polish.

  • Removes swirls, haze, and micro scratches
  • Pad-dependent: more cut with a cutting pad, flawless finish with a polishing pad
  • No dusting, easy wipe-off, and no cleanup mess

One pass is often all it takes to bring the shine back.


🛠️ Step 2: Choose the Right Pad + Machine

For moderate damage, pair Picture Perfect Polish with a DA polisher and medium-cut foam pad. If the coating left major high spots or roughness, step up to a heavier cut pad.

Machine polishing gives you the fastest, most even correction—but you can still get results by hand if needed.


🔒 Step 3: Reprotect Your Paint the Right Way

Now that your paint is corrected, seal it with something that actually works—without the side effects.

Both give you real-world durability—no haze, no rinsing, no disappointment. Just gloss and protection that lasts.
