Hello wonder if any one can help me with a few problems I'm having.

A. I've Carbon laminated a motorbike petrol tank with B & R carbon, my problem is that I cant seem to get rid of the grey water marks or small little dots. Tried using acetone & ethanol, tried polishing, I just cant get rid of them, I'm hesitant to sand much more because in places its starting to break through and the satin isn't as robust as the carbon.

B. I've resin laminated the whole frame, however when I'm trying to get a polish finish using wet and dry little white dots start showing up like they are in the resin it self.
I did used flumed silica to give the base layer a decent ability to hold, but I left it a long time with the black colouring paste as suggested.

I also use my catch pot chamber as a vacuum chamber to take out as much of the air as I could.

This is my first attempt at a composite project so am a little unsure. tbh I'm getting a little frustrated with it now, I just want my bike back in one piece, the amount of hours I have put in is getting ridiculous.

Any help would be much appreciated
