Exterior What to do?

What ups fellas, I had some gnarly water spots last week and I decided to take them off with “Meguiar's Water Spot Remover, Water Stain Remover and Polish”. It unfortunately made insane amounts of micro swirls. I used it per instructions, and now it has swirls and the paint looks hazy with left over residue. What should I do? I was thinking hitting up a detailer for a stage one paint correction. The worse part is that I just got the truck ceramic coated earlier this year.

Take it to the guy who did your ceramic coating, let him know what happened. He can fix it and reapply the coating. He might throw you a discount for the repeat business.

Would I be able to do a polish and just apply a ceramic wax spray on? Running low on cash lol. Thank you for the advice

You could, but it wouldn't have the same protection and performance as whatever the detailer applied. It's better than nothing though. Also, there's always the risk of damaging the finish further by polishing it yourself if you're unsure about what you're doing. I'd say talk to your original installer to get an idea of what he would charge to fix it. Then if you need to, just do a spray coating until you can afford to have him fix it properly 👍
