  • 3m 180c blotchy surface

    Hi
    I am in the process of wrapping half a car in 3m vivid blue 180c.

    I have already completed a section of the wrap, and did not notice the vinyl surface before starting.

    With the light at an angle, it is slightly matt overall but it appears to be blotchy with random gloss bits.

    Is there anything I can do to improve the surface?

    Or should I peel it off and start again with a new batch? 😕

    Simon.

    Just went to 110%. As the surface passed about 100 it shined up like magic.

    Thanks Derek.
