That's the problem Jimmy I'm not real sure if its surface or underneath the finish. I'm going to try buffing with the 3M product but if that doesn't help what is the next step??

Some finishes cloud up when exposed to sunlight...some epoxies (which could easily look like a poly)immediately come to mind although other finishes as well. Water under the finish would be my first guess though. If either of these is the case the polishes won't fix it, I don't know of a way to fix that particular problem other than a complete refinish. If it's water I suppose it might just go away over a long period of time, but I've never seen that.

Try carefully warming it with a hand-held hair dryer on hot. If its a relatively new gun that was finished with a waterborne polyurethane that may do it... at least worth a try before a total refinish.

I had a Browning Superposed with a two barrel set that was cased a few years ago. The buttstock had two large cloudy areas that resembled bubbles in the laquer/varnish near the rubber pad. There was no way to get them out. They weren't exactly bubbles but they were so cloudy that they sure looked like it. They were under the surface. There was one on each side of the buttstock about the size of a half dollar. I left them that way and sold the gun down at Louisville.

I'm giving all of those methods a try, except selling it.
Like the old guy at a sporting goods store in Rockwood always told his customers;
"Got any Model 12s?"
"Yes I do son a whole slew of em, but they ain't for sale"

Treblig,
FYI....I sent you a PM yesterday on using the glaze.

Don't have it buddy.

Treblig,
I don't believe that there is any instructions on the bottle as how to use the glaze. Using a soft cloth such as an old cotton sock, squirt a quarter size amount of glaze onto the sock. Rub lightly in straight lines. I like to rub length-wise on the stock then perpendicular returning to lengthwise/grain direction for the last buffs. Add glaze as necessary. Rub/buff until you buff off most of the glaze. Wipe with a fresh, soft cloth. Check your progress. Repeat as necessary. I hope this takes care of your issue.

P.S. Doing this on a car is a good work out. Your car will look and feel awesome.

Dampen the cloth pad first, then squeeze it almost dry before applying the glaze. Not required, but helpful.

I put the glaze on rub it in according to your advice, completely cleared it up!!
As always, excellant information...Thanks guys!!!
