    Marred Ceramic coating

    Hi, I had Nanoskin Megatrend professionally installed about 18 months ago. It has been incredible, no swirls or marring, and I just rinse and spray a reload. Recently however, I got a sap shower from a tree in a parking lot. Used Nanoskin fine wash mitt and Chemical guys clay lube, lots of lube...

    Paint coating over paint chips?

    I've searched the forum, but can't seem to find this question. I have a 2013 Audi A7, it has a few chips on the hood, but I am ok with that. My question is; Will it affect a paint coating in a negative way. I just want to protect the rest of the paint. i was thinking of going with GTechniq EXO...

    Dealing with paint correction to factory sealant

    I searched the forum and couldn't find anyone dealing with paint correcting factory sealant. I've had 2 cars in the past month that were sealed at the dealership or factory. The coating is harder than anything I've ever encountered. 1st was a 2013 camero, red. 2nd was a 2012 Audi A8L, silver...

    I think I ate through the paint!!

    They are still on my camera. This car was going to be my ultimate restore. It was BAD. I thought it was charcoal gray and the wheels were gold. Its Nighthawk Black and chrome wheels.

    I think I ate through the paint!!

    Thanks for all the great feedback! I only went to the 105 with a microfiber pad, because I had hit it with a orange hex logic, V34 and the PC. The etching from the bird dropping was still very evident, but I couldn't feel it when I went over it with my finger. Looks like a thickness gauge is...

    I think I ate through the paint!!

    Yea at first I thought it was just the 105 being funky, when it grew, I knew it was jacked. Why there though? I used that combo on a couple of other spots and no problems. Oh well. Any ideas how I can prevent that from happening in the future? A paint thickness gauge maybe? Thank God it wasn't...

    I think I ate through the paint!!

    My bad. It was a meguiar's microfiber cutting pad! It wasn't hot, so not burned, I think it actually just cut through.

    I think I ate through the paint!!

    I feel like throwing up. Good thing I own this car. Time for a paint thickness gauge! M105 is a real b---- to work with. Seems to have a big learning curve. I had a couple of other spots that came out great. I was actually just trying to get the leftover M105 off and BAM. It came off ok, with...

    I think I ate through the paint!!

    I was restoring a badly neglected 2006 Acura RSX, NHB. While trying to remove a bird poop stain I switch to a Meguiar's Foam cutting pad and M105 on a PC. I went too far. See the attached pic. It's never been polished before, so I thought I was safe. Am I going to have to have it repainted?

    Any Major Differences b/t these hybrid coatings?

    Will Opti-coat adhere to single stage paint? No clear coat.
