    Mercedes paint

    Let me add this, Dr. ColorChip will do an ok job of minimizing that ugliness. It will put matching color in all those pock marks and from 20 feet make it look better, but it will still drive you crazy when you're up close to it.

    Mercedes paint

    In my experience it relates to the waterborne paints in use now and your driving environment. My 11 Dodge Charger started acquiring chips immediately and after five years (98,000 miles) it had hundreds of little pock marks all over the front bumper cover and hood. My wifes 13 Nissan Xterra...

    The most common place to get overspray on your car is a body shop by Mike Phillips

    Had to have a fender painted on my car, the work turned out great with perfect color match. The weather turned and I wasn't able to do a full blown wash on the car for two weeks.

    question for those who own dogs...

    clear bra

    In my case a "finger" on an edge was a raised wrinkle, too much material to lay flat. I brought it back to the installer he took one look and said let's set an appointment for a redo. He knew he wasn't going to be able to "shrink" it. I was aggravated at the time involved but glad the installer...

    One Hell(cat) of a ride - 11 Hellcats details & counting (enjoy the pics)

    Quick pass of HD Polish with a white buff n shine pad on my Billet Silver Scat Pack and it was popping! The car was sitting on showroom floor for a little bit so it had a couple of light mars / defects to get out.

    Selling the S4 for something new. Need to wait to detail new car?
