No problem.... keep the can the same distance from the surface when applying your coats... not pulling away as you end the spray stroke... don't want to end up with lots of clear dusting that you'll have to wet-sand off before buffing; hope that makes sense... usually, 24hrs. later you can...

Yes, that is what I meant; sand the spot for adhesion and surrounding area... like several inches around it... is actually easier to blend if the area is larger... watched youtube on blending paint... used aerosol from autopainttouchup to do a bumper spot and body shop couldn't tell. You'd have...

this may not answer your question either, but recently hand rubbed out a '96 corolla with cheap Scratch Out compound; took 2 days... still shines 5 months later; maybe this above approach, then #7, then #26..?

ouch! having done some paint work you are probably right in a repaint to completely correct; if you just want to slow the process, you could re-sand with the area and surrounding with the unigrit, respray in a sweeping manner with something like a 1 or 2k aerosol, let it dry, sand with 3000 and...

you can layer the chip repair to get it level; obviously takes time and practice; I like to use one of those small key tags that you get with a rewards card from various stores, wrapped in t-shirt cotton to lightly go over the repair to get it level.

Hello. IPA is rubbing alcohol.... comes in various dilutions... 50%, 70%, etc. Ammonia also cleans plastic fairly well... is often recommended before painting. I've used Forever Black as well as KIWI leather dye to restore plastic.... Forever Black will last longer in my experience, but the dye...

Hello... can't really help in your quest, but would like to know what you think about Shine Master... ? Thanks for your info.

So you don't feel alone... as I do being a new poster, I'd have to say that that approach is truly in depth; I have done numerous chip/scratch repair, but using AG Dr. Colorchip kits; I don't mind detailing a car and then having the client wait for the paint to finish.... I know the rest of the...

Thanks for sharing your ongoing journey; have started out detailing as a hobby/mental therapy.... and have acquired a couple of clients that like my work/attention to detail; not hoping to reach the level you are, but appreciate your effort to say the least; I hope you have great success : )

I use Megs Endurance dressing about every 4-6 weeks... hit the tires with cheap AA foam after weekly wash... keeps them clean and black for the duration... easily.

another heads up on WallyWorld... Megs DA Ultimate wax pack was $7... as well as TW Endura-Shine Tire Kit ( tag said $11 ).

didn't have anymore Megs kits when I found out about the deal for $5; an employee told me about it when I wondered through the auto section, which is a lunch time habit; today, found Surfcity Garage Hotrod detailer, Barrier Reef spray wax and Beyond Black for $5/each at my Walmart.... their...

My local Kmart is selling the Meguiars Ultimate kit - UQW, supreme shine cloth, quik interior wipes and UWW... For $5.

FWIW... the TW label remover does a great job on removing rubberized undercoating as well.

Hello, all.... new to DA use, but have the option of either a Shurhold or Harbor Freight, which will require mods... anyone have an opinion either way?

Hi, all.... also new to Duragloss; have 101, which I don't think was mentioned. Any thoughts on this product? durability on an outside car? best applicator for hand/da? was thinking of using it on a new black Honda whose paint looks like crap. Thanks for the info.

Thanks, guys... forgot to mention, I'm in Gainesville, Fl.

Thanks.... hope to learn more.... although have detailed a few cars lately.
