Maybe I'm referring to what it's doing incorrectly. The vertical panels, i.e. door panels, fenders and quarters, don't shed the water to an almost dry condition. The entire door is one sheet of wet! The same look you get on a waxed car that doesn't bead anymore. Now, I do get beads when I...

Can I get a better coating and just top the existing coating? I know that the best practice is to remove the old to apply new, but how do you get rid of the old when matte black trim, window trim, bumpers and grill, etc have all been coated. The AK coating might have poor hydrophobic...

Last December, I paint corrected my Ram Rebel and ceramic coated it using Avalon King's Armor Shield IX. It applied easily and made all the black plastic parts look fantastic. About three months later, I noticed water sheeting off the vertical panels, like it does when there's no wax. The...

He ordered Avalon King's Ceramic Coating.

A simple degreaser is all i need? Will Simple Green work? I have a gallon of that on hand. I can dilute it, and wash the truck with the diluted solution, if that works.

Thanks. I just didn't want to have to re polish the entire vehicle to remove the NXT. That's a lot of work. I was hoping I could wash the vehicle with a special wash to remove most of it, then use something like M122 to remove any remaining. I don't want to use Dawn or heavy degreasers as I...

The truck already looks it's best as I did a paint correction prior to installing the NXT. Would Meguiar's M205 or Mother's PowerPolish Stage 1 work ok for the polish step? I have both of those.

A few weeks ago, my 75 year old neighbor asked me if I could help him install running boards on his new, slightly used, GMC. After installing them for him, I decided to do a new car prep for him so I washed, clayed, paint corrected and applied some NXT 2.0 for him. He then asked me about...

I missed the Expo this year. I was planning on going to meet up with many of my PDR buddies, but couldn't make it. Maybe next year.

I'm not a believer in these types of products, but this one appears to be accepted by the PDR industry. The dry ice method or the heat method have been around for years and only work on certain types of dents. This is using induction heat with magnetic capability to remove "soft" dents. A...

Mike, Thanks for the response. My FLEX is the LK-603VE that dates back to the late 80's. It did a fantastic job when that was all I had. At the time, I got the IROC in the background cleaned up by using the FLEX, with a 3M 5717 backing plate, the wool pad and 3M Perfect-It compound. It did...

A few months back, I mentioned that I have a 2017 Mustang GT that had hard water damage. I had a local detailer wetsand the factory paint down to 1200 to remove the marks, and it didn't work. Ford would not replace the car and would only authorize a complete repaint of the car since the damage...

Re: Two project cars for Mobiel Tech Expo Classes Hey Mike, Scott here with the dark red IROC-Z you saw in Orlando. I was planning on going to MTE this year and will stop by the booth. Not guaranteed that I'll be there though. Hopefully I can get there.

Latest update... Ford authorized a repaint on the car. It doesn't qualify for a buyback because the car has never been in service and doesn't meet the requirements for a buyback. They also stated that only a Ford body shop can do the work. I was hoping I could take it to the shop of my...

Glad to meet you, Mike. It was good learning about a few products that I was unfamiliar with.
