Paint discoloration After using Clear Coat Repair

Couple months back I scratched my truck up while wheelin pretty good just a lot of clear coat scratches so i tried a scratch repair that was using a clear coat repairment but after i did it the next day my truck had these swirls and white marks all over it just curious if anyone knows anyway to fix it or if i have to repaint my truck now. Thanks P.S. I’ve already tried washing, scrubbing and a light polish to try to get them out and nothing worked. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/turtle-wax/turtle-wax-scratch-repair-kit/tur0/53836
This was the product I used.

 

Hmmmm
If that product yielded those results….
Scratches deeper thru clear coat than u anticipated

All is not lost thou
your in for a “wet sand and buff”

IMO
Would not go below P1500

 

See the cup with water?
Soak each grade of S. Paper

So start with 1500 or 2500….small section of bed scratch
Less is more(pressure wise)

Don’t freak out after 1st buff and test spot is white……that is the clear coat….without the next step….buffing

I think you can then use that same product you bought to then buff the ‘rough clr coat surface’ smooth

Takes some patience
Be prepared to see that the scratched areas you have worked are better looking than the rest of the bed.
No biggie
Just buff wax entire bed panel after you are satisfied with the removal of initial scratches.

bodyshop would probably charge $160-$200 (cash talks) to “color sand buff” than one panel

Are you talking about that "edge" that forms at the edge of the painted area? Even with proper prep that is never going away. As above you need a little "roughness" to get the coat to stick, then gently buff out the feathered edge. Sometimes you can get it to "barely noticeable" but you'll still see it if you look. Generally when I do these I try to break it on a natural body line like in the pic below, but on a big panel you will always see a feather (the rough white line at the right) unless you do the whole panel.
