    I have hand washed my car twice and have not noticed that (the only time I am likely to pick up on something like that). Not sure what happened to your light.

    I’m serious. It’s inside. Am I screwed or what can this be? Or am I imagining things and it’s outside and I have to try and buff it out.

    If it is inside that would be a warranty issue.

    I took out the old Nu Finish. Man Oh man. Lol

    That just shows how much I love this car.

    It buffed right out. At first I couldn’t feel it when I ran across my finger with it. It looked like it was inside 100%. Mistakes happen.

    It’s ok. I used wax to buff it out. Overlooked it and my finger couldn’t feel anything when I touched it earlier. It’s ok! Just shows how much I love this car.

    I'm confused. Was that black spot on the inside or outside of the tail light lens?

    Looks like inside after I didn’t feel anything while running my finger across it. After applying wax it was on the outside.
