    Make scratches in clear coat not white

    So i had to buy a daily driver. Ended up with a 2012 sonata. I assume grandma owned it and liked to put all of her stuff on the hood and trunk lid before she put it in the car... On top of that there is a 8x8" section on the rear bumper where something got dragged vertically down it. Ive...

    Acrylic vs Polymer Sealant

    Have you looked into CG jetseal? While expensive it goes on and off like butter.

    Help w/ prices (new)

    I think you might have a problem with the water. 1. alot of people dont have access to an outside/garage spigot. 2. alot of people dont have a "wash tub". So you are asking the customer to walk into the house and fill up at least 2 buckets in the sink they use to wash their food/dishes. Im...

    why do so many dislike armorall

    The problem with AA is that it does the opposite of what its designed to do. Protect: I wont go deep into the plastic breaking down process, but "professional" products replace the particles that break down in the plastic/rubber/vinyl. AA "adds" to the particles that never broke down to begin...

    Didn't think duragloss 501 had this much cut

    Ive been doing amateur hour waxing 2x a year for 20 years using either a micro fiber applicator or a brand new cotton field crest towel. While yes the paint has never been corrected and has been threw the auto wash at least 10 times (couldnt tell it was marring till i stripped it) it did cover...

    Didn't think duragloss 501 had this much cut

    I bought my sonta new, and ran it through the "free car washes for life" the first winter and it did mar the paint alittle. First year i used CG nano wax after stripping the factory wax and it looked pretty good compared to stripped. Most of the micro scratches where filled in. This year i...

    Lets discuss Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion

    Ok here is my treaded scratch taken at 3 diff angles. As you can see the "smear" travels up the scratch. I guess it could be trapped lotion. Like a finger smear on a smart phone screen.

    Lets discuss Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion

    Im just going to strip the hood and figure out whats going on. The car only has 6k on it ( i bought it new before winter). I got 2 big scratches over winter and didnt want to buff out a brand new hood. So the no abrasive "round over edges of scratches so light doesnt catch them" was what i...

    Lets discuss Pinnacle Paintwork Cleansing Lotion

    I hope i didnt ruin my hood. I got the sample with one of my orders. I figured i could use it since is so non abrasive that it doesnt remove swirls. Well i did what it said, washed, in garage under florescent light, did back and forth with microfiber towel. Worked great at rounding over the...

    chemical guys water spot remover after treatment

    Well if anyone wants to know what worked for me: Do one panel at a time. Apply like wax, one coat. wait 30sec -1 min. All the water spot will pop out for your enjoyment. Wipe them once or twice more and they should go away. Hose off, the stuff comes off real easy. I then washed with a...

    chemical guys water spot remover after treatment

    Thank you, i will reapply after treatment. I wasnt sure if it just was a super softner to break down the non water soluble deposits.

    chemical guys water spot remover after treatment

    So I know how to use cg water spot remover, but what do you need to do after you wash off the product? Is the wax now stripped and you have a fresh clear coat to work with, or did it just remove the mineral deposits and your wax/sealant is still good?
