    Tire shop messed up my paint, sooo.....

    If I leave my car anywhere I always ask the manager/owner to walk around my car with me so they can see there are no scratches, dents, etc. at least that way they know you’re going to be checking it over when you pick it up and are usually very cautious.

    Anyone have any experience with 2015-2019 ford f250 paint quality?

    We have a 2015 dark gray metallic paint. Nice paint. I went 18 months with no LSP, just careful washing. No scratches or swirls. Nice paint. The piano plastic pillars...not so much. Look at them wrong and you scratch them. A good coating helps quite a bit with those.

    Never Seen This ... Touch Up paint ran down out of original spot

    Re: Has anyone had this issue? Touch up paint running down the panel more than a week later... If it was a week later there is something wrong with the paint. Once the solvents in the paint completely evaporate it shouldn’t move. Enough solvents have evaporated from touch up paint for it to...

    Never Seen This ... Touch Up paint ran down out of original spot

    Re: Has anyone had this issue? Touch up paint running down the panel more than a week later... Did you clean the area good with a solvent before painting? Mineral spirits or something similar. Rubbing alcohol and water mixture at the very least. I assume the paint ran down very shortly after...

    Rupes Mille or Flex 3401

    I guess I’m one of the few that would go Mille. I’ve got back problems and Thea Mille is definitely less strain. That and I never did get used to the counter clockwise rotation. I have had bot machines. Sold the Flex, keeping the Mille.

    Removing "shine" from steering wheel...

    Use a leather cleaner on it just like you do the seats. Works great.

    Wheel coatings suggestions

    I would imagine using something like McKee’s hydro blue for maintenance would be helpful. That’s all I use on my wheels. I was using Hydro2 just switched to McKee’s.

    Speedmaster preminum glass towel.

    Thanks for the review. I got three of these with my last order. I haven’t had a chance to use them yet. Glad to know they were a good purchase.

    The World is About to Change

    Yep definitely sounds like a very similar product to RestorFX

    The World is About to Change

    RestorFX is the product. Same application process. This one you do have to be an authorized installer. With that one if you didn’t do a correction before you applied it you could still see the scratches. This stuff was the hardest stuff I’ve ever come across. I machine sanded the whole car plus...

    The World is About to Change

    There is already a product like that, or very similar out. I ran into it doing a detail on a Lexus. I’ll have to look up the name.

    Superbowl pick

    I’m not a Saints fan but I felt bad for them. That was one of the worst calls...or non call I should say...the I have ever seen and I’ve watched a lot of football in the last 48 years!

    303 Touchless sealant

    I may try it at some point. I have a Si02 QD that I use and really like. It reinforces and looks incredible.

    303 Touchless sealant

    Can you shoot a video sheeting a vertical panel with a hose?

    303 Touchless sealant

    I would imagine if you just took a hose and used the flow of water to sheet it the panel would end up dry. I’ Been a 303 fan since the mid 80’s when all they had was their protectant. I will probably order this product for wheels. All our cars are coated so I don’t need it for the paint. In my...

    Time for the Midwest to order!!

    The 20-25% off sales don’t include buffers. Sometimes you can catch a 15% sale that includes them. Even then there are a few not included. Rupes has a minimum selling price set by the manufacturer.

    Swirls won't polish out

    Where do you live? Maybe there is a member close by that can help you out, or at least measure the paint thickness.
