I put a coat of this on my wifes Black Acura TSX wagon before winter and it has held up great with very little work on my part. My only concern was i never felt like i got the timing quite right as far as how long to leave it on before buffing off. I was also VERY careful in the cleaning...
Im not sure that's the case.
The original question was how to remove XMT and the answer was its not that easy so either polish it off or skip it. Answers received and was going to skip it but just picked up some megs polish (also per advise)
Ive regularly acknowledged that i wasnt going to...
Thanks everyone for jumping in
for the record i did know from the onset it was 1 step forward 2 steps backwards but hadnt realized it was that difficult to remove XMT.
I know "good enough" is not the fight song for autogeek but i think i am just going to go ahead without any paint correction...
I am a little confused by your response. You acknowledge my need for a properly prepped surface (in this case essential virgin) Then talk about using a different polish and stating that xmt 360 will not play a role in my application?
no matter what the product used would need to get removed...
I am going to try cQuartz UK Friday on the wifes TSX wagon so i need a Completely stripped surface for a good bond. I clayed this weekend and will be washing and using XMT 360 friday before the cQuartz. I know using an AIO instead of a dedicated cleaner isnt the optimum way to do this but its...
I thought redundency with minor overlap was the name of the game :)
to be fair I only originally purchased the black hole, klasse, and BF black wax. All were chosen for their durability and polylimer base to hopefully all bond well to each other. I only wanted to have to start up from scratch...
i did a bit of searching last night and there was a nice test that someone did with black hole under various sealants on a pane of glass. It did not seem like the Black hole glaze had any effect on the OPs ability to strip off the sealant and he was using some pretty aggressive stuff like goo...
can i ask what makes you say that?
i have used it on my two black cars at the beginning of summer and it seems to be holding up well.
I also topped it with a paste wax and a spray wax every week or two so its hard to tell if it broke down or not since there are multiple layers on top of it.
I dont nescasarily want this to turn into a "what should i use" thread but are there any VERY MILD swirl removers that you can think of that would would be sealant friendly?
I have two black cars that are stored outside and see significant highway miles so swirls are unavoidable and if im going...
first of i am a budding detailing enthusiast and a habitual over thinker.
It seems like i am getting conflicting information.
The standard response when people ask about putting sealer over wax (im not asking) is that you want sealer to grab paint, a layer between would eventually deteriorated...
The "good = expensive" Blackfire wax didnt happen the first time i applied it over fresh (properly cured) Klasse sealant on either my own or my wifes car. Thats why i was extremely surprised to see it happen this weekend. The NXT that hazed up was 2-3 weeks old and frankly i thought it had...
NXT was an "update wax" Full process was glaze, klasse seal, blackfire about 2 months ago. Weekly-ish washes usually get a spray wax but that particular week i had a little more time so decided to do a "real" wax.
Ill be stripping down and starting over before winter so that isnt in question...
A couple weeks ago i waxed my car with Mequires NXT 2.0 since i didnt want to use "the good stuff" and wanted a liquid wax not paste. Waxed very thin in shade anfter a proper wash, let haze, removed and buffed off with chemical guys MF towels and as the sun moved over the house and the car was...
