it shouldnt, but it is on my wifes Jeep compass and its a daily driver. On my Silverado, it lasted about 8months not a daily driver. Go figure Claude

Zaino's Z12 Done both of my vehicles 3yrs ago and coated with aquapel still going strong. Claude:buffing:

I went to the dealer, where i purchased the vehicle and the got the GM rep to look at the vehicle...they tell me he was impressed with the vehicle and how immaculate it is but they wont cover it under warrant or anything. They actually thought it was a 2013 model till they looked at the reg...

Yep, i meant coating. thinking the less i play with the paint works from now on the better and less damage to the clear. Im also looking to wrap the vehicle, Getting some prices on doing that. Claude

interesting, im thinking of applying a sealant like Gtech or optimum since there are no swirls on the vehicle...i just finished polishing out whatever swirls i had. I know one thing im going to need a poop load of the stuff, lots of metal to seal... Thanx for your help and info Claude

when did you start noticing the clearcoat failure? and how long after it ended up like it is in the photo? Claude

Oh, i thought you meant somethign to stop it.... I have used carnauba wax once on this vehicle, it kept on hazing due to the heat off the paint. Sealant is the only thing on the vehicle and topped off with Zaino's Z-CS. Yes i am sure Flash's comment is true. We are driving the vehicle to St...

what do you mean sealing? r u saying there is a way to stop this from going any further, or worse? I counted 9 so far, at different areas of the truck. What products are you recommending? Im all ears, i really love this truck and hate to get rid of it because of this. Claude

ROFL....now thats a great idea...too funny

Hello Everyone, I have a black '07 Silverado while washing it this morning i noticed some unusual marks on the paint. I think i know what it is, but im hoping its not and i can fix it myself. Tried getting my nail stuck on it, it doesnt its smooth no lip on it or anything. So here is a photo...

i never had this problem before, i have buffed this bumper before but not with a Surbuf pad. I also turned down the speed from 5 to 3 and it still melted the pad. the LC mf pad woked great and i kept that at speed 3 also. Lesson learned! Thanx for the responses guys... Claude:buffing:

Hey Guys, I was detailing my wife's 07 jeep compass a daily driver with 64k miles on it now. Never really worked on removing the swirls on it because its Stone White, but it was getting out of hand. So i decided to use the Meg's swirl remover system the 6' surbuf pads with griots D/A. I have...

I know, i used the Meg's MF discs, very nice but clog very quickly and must use 2 different pads. I have LC MF Pads coming, only need one pad for all applications such as the Surbuf pads. Testing will commence this weekend! Claude

So, now that we have figured out its a normal operation....lets move on to the next chapter. What MF pads r u using? I used the Surbuf pads, after using it to remove the 2k grit sanding marks on a Hood, the backing of the pad is coming off and the edges have fallen apart. What do you recommend?

No speed increase between 4 through 6 is normal, I am actually conversing with Kevin brown right now via txt messaging. It is linear,meaning as you exert pressure onto the unit it will compensate to maintain the speed. So again as per Kevin Brown, this is totally normal. And thanx Everyone...
