    polish for fresh paint?

    We now are driving a 2011 Ford Focus in SGM... my daughter rubbed a front fender up against a yellow post in the HS parking lot... and I got the car back from the body shop today... the paint looks good except for a 4" diameter spot on the wheel well arch... I am tempted to polish it out a bit...

    body shop washdown

    We had some cloudy but dry weather today, & I was able to wipe down the car again to apply a coat of MG #20 polymer sealant. I did not feel any overspray ( I believe the shop removed the bumper surround for repair & left the car in another area)... & I have a buttery slick surface again...

    body shop washdown

    That is what occurred... the entire car was washed prior to delivery... removing my 2 coats of MG #20. Looks like the weather will allow me to apply a coat today... just not to the bumper surround... I need to let it cure for 60 days.

    body shop washdown

    BobbyG... I only use the "rinse" in the wand bay. What I am wondering is if the bodyshop stripped off my #20 polymer sealant... I have no beading & no slick surface anymore.

    I have a 2011 Ford Focus with 2500 miles on it. The day after delivery in Nov. I applied a coat of Meguiars Mirror Glaze #20 polymer sealant... & a second on a warm day in January. The only washes I did were rinse only wand washes followed by Meguiars Quik Detailer & MF. Last weekend, I had...

    Meguiars Mirror Glaze #20 Polymer Sealant

    I ordered a bottle of #20 thru my local NAPA... used it on our new sterling grey 2011 Focus the day after delivery. The first snow of the season was predicted & I wanted to move to a polymer sealant for this season. The product left a beautiful shine & a super slick surface... I also did a quick...

    aluminum shift and brake levers

    Cleaned up my new 08 Buell this morning by taking a lidded bucket of hot water, some microfibers, and the last few spritzes of TW express spray to the storage unit I am using. Got the rain spray off the exhaust and fenders, and put a coat of slick on the plastic panels and frame with the TW...

    "molded-in-color" body panels

    Sorry for posting in the wrong forum, I could not get the response I was looking for in the motorcycle forum. I just purchased an 08 Buell Blast with white plastic body panels, not painted. I have used Meguiars 3 step, Eagle 1 nano, and Turtle T-6 (waxes, washes, and detailers) on our Colorado...

    08 Buell Blast

    Brought home an 08 Buell Blast (white) in the rain this weekend. Wiped it down with a big plush blue microfiber, and left it in a storage unit.
