    Prep for sacrificial coat

    I live in an apartment so ONR wash is my only option. I don't have a power socket outside and it's not a suitable location to use a DA. I have access to a pressure washer so will try a decon wash. Thanks for the tips.

    Prep for sacrificial coat

    The coating was applied less than 2 years ago and was done professionally. There are a small number of minor scratches and overall still looks good. I feel the wash method I am using is not removing everything that is on top of the coating. I can't polish or clay as this will remove the...

    Prep for sacrificial coat

    You are correct opie, it doesn't have abrasives but does have fillers. I have used it to touch up some small scratches without any issues

    Prep for sacrificial coat

    Sorry for reopening this thread. Followed the above advice and applied PA high gloss which looks amazing but it does not last as long as I had hoped. Weather here is awful with lots of rain and add to that road grime, tree sap etc I don't believe Bilthamber Korosol, ONR wash, Carpro spotless...

    Can this be touched up?

    $575 seems a lot for a bumper respray. In Ireland, where the cost of living would be higher, you would expect to pay about $420- $450. I have worked in the motor trade for over 25 years including some time as a crash repair assessor. The cost of doing half a bumper would be 60-65% of a full...

    Customer comment..

    If he is a co-worker you will see him often, so show him a few before and after photos of your work. Even if he doesn't go ahead with his own car he may still recommend you to others. If your work is good you won't need to go chasing business. Don't ever offer free service or discounts as that...

    Can this be touched up?

    Surely they can spray half the bumper. With the position of the registration plate, blending would not be an issue.

    Prep for sacrificial coat

    Hi All First post here. I have a two year old black Honda that was professionally ceramic coated (Titan) last year and I want to top up with something like PA high gloss or cosmic spritz. I wash using ONR single bucket-no rinse as I don't have access to a pressure washer. ONR does a great job...
