I have one of those attachments and it works good for cleaning off road salt during the winter. I also use it if Ive driven over dirt or gravel roads. In the winter I use SaltX APC to clean, otherwise Optimum APC, then follow it with their wax. I stocked up on the wax when I bought it, got a...

I agree with the others, its unprofessional work and should be disputed with the insurance company. The last time I had bodyshop work done it was better than the factory Honda paint.

For stuff that big and extensive, just charge an hourly rate plus materials IMO.

Ive never had that happen to be honest. The reason my paint wasnt protected was because it had recent spray and I was following instructions, and I park outside at work. But I have neighbors that park outside 24/7 and their cars paint is not failing even after several years. I cant imagine paint...

Im not sure how you came to this conclusion. Its a lot easier to buff off a little oxidation than it is to correct swirls. I had my dark blue CR-V sit out in the sun unproteced 6 months after a hood respray, and buffed it to a mirror finish with carpro reflect finishing polish in 5 minutes. I...

Cant say on bird bombs, dont really get them very often. Powerlock is on my wife's car and it looks clean for weeks. I only wash it once a month but you would guess it was washed weekly until the tire shine starts to fade.

Ive used Collinite and a FK1000p before and Powerlock beats them both in ease of application and longevity.

Look for another car would be my suggestion. Unless this car is some sort of rare item that investing in a 2500$ clear bra treatment is worth it.

A friend of mine uses that Duster all the time and his paint is swirl city. Ive been asking him to let me correct half the hood and see if his duster is causing it, but he wont let me.

Agreed. The biggest cheapskates tend to be chronically unhappy people, who pride themselves on getting more than they pay for. They will then get a bit of happiness in their life by bragging to anyone who will listen how they screwed you out of money and how smart they are. Dont give an inch. If...

Yeah life doesent get any better than that right there. Awesome.

Go put a nice coat of sealant on some test panel, hopefully not your car, lol. Then write on it with a sharpie and leave it out in the sun a couple days. Tell me how good that sealant protected the paint from being stained. Id bet you'd need a buffer to get it off just like the die in the wax.

Id be more worried about the rock chips you will get.

I think more likely the paint was stained by the dye in the wax, and the LSP was likely removed far quicker than the stain was.

That would make a nice little ride for $3500. Wheels are fugly though.
