    Clearcoat failure advice please

    So then the base color itself will have to be repainted as well? It seems I'm getting conflicting opinions on that part. Some people are saying that after wet sanding only the clear will need to be re applied?

    Clearcoat failure advice please

    Hopefully this is in the right section.. My 2006 Mustang GT was in a fender bender before I bought it on the front right corner area. It appears the fender was repainted during the repair and whatever body shop did the work cleared over a vinyl stripe on the side, and around the antenna without...

    What is a "small amount" of product?

    I'm preparing to do my first detail on my car (2006 Mustang, in silver), and I have three poorboys products I got as a gift (white diamond, EX-P, and liquid Natty blue). I'll be applying by hand via CCS red wax/sealant applicator pads... All three of these products specify a "small amount" on...

    Finally getting some nice weather-small photoshoot

    We finally got a break in our early spring snow we've been having and so I spent my lunch break cleaning up the car, and then on my way home pulled over to take some pictures. It's odd to think that I've driven this wonderful machine 2000 miles in the last month and a half she's been mine, and...

    My 1983 Nissan Truck

    Awesome 720 man! Here's mine, it's an 86. They're great little trucks. Mine needs a clutch now, and doesn't get driven much since I got the Mustang... but she was my first, and I'll always love her.

    Why do men buy their wives black cars?

    I'm lucky in that my girlfriend has at least a little interest in driving and having a decent looking rig, but I totally understand what the OP's talking about. I work at a used car dealership, and the other day a lady came in with a black, 1 year old Jeep grand cherokee she wanted to trade for...

    Product advice for a newbie

    :iagree: So I'm picking up that there's not a lot of love for zaino products around here? Seems like things I read on other forums lead me to believe that zaino is some sort of mysterious super-product that blows everything else out of the water.

    Product advice for a newbie

    I appreciate the fast response! As to your question, do I prefer sealant or carnuba, I'm not really sure. All I've ever used before is turtle wax out of a little round tin. I enjoyed waxing with it, but the black paint on my old truck is so swirled and scratched and sun faded and everything...

    Product advice for a newbie

    I'm sure these questions are somewhat irritating to you seasoned car-beautifiers, but I'm very new at all this. I'm taking delivery tomorrow of a new-to-me 2006 Mustang GT in satin silver that has just received your typical used-car-lot detail job. I'm looking to acquire a good 'starter kit'...
