Was afraid to hear answers like this. I won't be letting this dealer touch the car again (long story, but they're incompetent). I could demand they pay a trusted shop to fix it, but not sure how well that'll go over. The area pictured is the worst. I wonder why the defects fade away toward the...
I need some help identifying and treating this defect. An incompetent dealership repainted the front end of this vehicle leaving textured speckles on the hood and bumper.
In my test spot I’ve clayed, compounded, and polished but some speckles persist despite the test spot feeling silky smooth...
I have the megs on a 24/7 outdoor daily going on 9 months. Still beads water like day 1 and I've been lazy with regular washes. Twice I've topped it with the megs ceramic spray (the spray on rinse off stuff). Not sure how much that's helping but its zero extra effort. I'm sold on this stuff b/c...
I grabbed 4 kits for 20 each at Ollies. There were still another 8-10 kits on the shelf. If you "sign up" at Ollies, they give you a 15% off coupon next time you come in. That would mean 17 per kit. I need to do 2 family member vehicles so this will be handy.
This is a bummer, I really enjoyed using this product. It was so easy to apply and there was zero fiddling with high spots. Mines still going strong at 8 months and the cars outside 24/7.
Can anyone recommend an alternative coating that's equally hassle free and effective?
I have a G9 and prefer using it with the 5 inch backing plate. I found the larger size harder to manage, but I'm not pro.
I used these pads with great results: Buff and Shine 5.5 in. Flat Foam Pads 6 Pack - YOUR CHOICE
I struggled with water spots. I have ZERO shade too. And a black vehicle that scratches if you sneeze on it.
In my experience the only real solutions were rinseless washes, wash before the sun is up (or after its down), wash on a very overcast day, or use a DI tank. I bought the DI tank. Its...
Can you elaborate on why you hate applying the glass bottle coatings some more?
+1 Megs Hybrid Paint coating. No chance of leaving high spots or messing this up and offers 12 months of protection.
Since I'll likely do an annual decon / paint enhancement anyway, the 2+ year long lasting...
What if you have not induced any major marring? Are folks still grabbing one of these finer polishes to clean things up or would a 'paint cleanser' be more appropriate?
Disclaimer, I'm a total beginner, but I also think the decision here is paint system contextual - what if your paint is super...
I'd think you could substitute an eagle 500 for any of the other eagles - 350, 450, 600. I chose the 450's b/c they were the same price but come in a 6 pack vs. a 4 pack. No clue if the extra 50 gsm is worth the 50% increase in price you pay for the 500s.
For glass I used to use a megs waffle...
I have fallen for the concept of having different towels for different purposes, but I wonder if my entire arsenal could be simplified by just using a bunch of edgeless 365s for everything and PFMs for drying.
Anyway, here's what I use:
Drying: PFM. I have the large edgless and 2 16x16s. I...
