Rich -
Thanks again for the great work and Canadian hospitality! I am truly grateful to have been able to meet someone with a like mind and willing to tackle what many others refused to do. The thought of repainting 100% of the side of the car just to take care of a 1% defect made me cringe...
Someone keyed my car this weekend across two door panels and part of the rear quarter panel. To put it mildly, I'm really pissed! This is beyond my comfort zone for repair. Can anyone recommend a professional in the Chicago area that I can consult about possible repair? Sorry about the...
Depends on what you are trying to acheive and the condition of the car. Prewax cleaners and SF4000/SF4500 (finishing polishes) are different animals. Could you use a polish like that in lieu of a paint cleaner to merely remove LSP? Absolutely, but if you're only trying to acheive that, then...
Well, a layer of WGDGPS worked! High spots gone! Perhaps another layer of WGDGLS would have worked as well, but I can't help but think the foam applicator helped work it out. This sure as heck beats having to remove and reapply. Many thanks to all who replied with their advice.
Time to...
Wash, IronX, extra rinse, clay, finish polish with Menzerna PO85rd and an IPA/water wipedown. It was a very clean surface. I think I'm just dealing with a few high spots that have now been "pushed around" a bit by the waterless wash. The question is whether I can eventually level/blend them or...
I also use both FK425 and Ultima WW and like them both a lot. FK425 has always worked well for me as a drying aid and as a QD on a clean car. The Ultima is my favorite waterless wash and I agree it is cost effective; DP is not that bad either. For me each serves a different purpose.
BTW, I...
Thanks for the perspective. I'm going to give the waterless wash one more try and then will decide between paint cleaner in the trouble spots (WG or P21s) with reapplication or try another layer very sparingly applied. Funny thing is, you can only really see these spots under bright light, such...
Thanks. I gave the waterless wash a try a little while ago, but still a trace reappearing. Perhaps another round of waterless wash (might be some residue). I'm thinking I might be stuck having to use a paint cleaner and reapply. If anyone has any other suggestions, they would be appreciated...
I recently applied some Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal to a recently detailed black car. I've used UPGP before on a lighter color (grey) with excellent results, but this is my first time applying the WG version and the first time on black paint. I used sparingly like the Ultima, with the only...
Hello everyone! I've been detailing cars for some time now and have been an AG customer since the early 2000s. I have always read and valued the forum here for many years and have now finally convinced myself that I should start participating. Looking forward to it! Cheers!:awesome::awesome:
