Thought you would, Chris! ;) Opti Coat should be the perfect solution to this abusive owner. This is the batch I got from you recently. Thanks!!

ROFL, Charlie! I'm glad you like even the little ones like this ;) If all you ever were to say on any of our threads was "hi" I'd still love it!

Surbuf + M105 if you want to stick with the DA polishers, and use the Kevin Brown Method. Keep it at speed 5 or below or the pads will die very fast. If you have and want to use a rotary you can really speed things up with wool pads and something like 3M Heavy Cut.

By now you might understand my effort to keep the owner from touching this paint as much as possible. His previous attempts put most of this damage into it, even after working on his other Porsche which was in similar condition :/ With this in mind I opted for Opti-Coat + Reload. “Dude, you...

Pure Ossi Blue! From this: To this: Nice curves under here, I promise: Door panel coming along and loving it! looking... ...and it needs some more. This was pretty much the way around the vehicle; many hours per panel! Marc working some refinement...

Since this is a modern base/clear coat paint system, I was able to use 3M Adhesive Remover for the gunk under the emblems. It this was the original lacquer paint we would need to stay away from solvents. Now lets talk about the paint: Sanding marks under the base color, and some...

Sorry for posting another writeup so soon, but we have a few more scheduled for soon and I had to get this thing posted ;) This vehicle had been painted last year, and we were waiting for an appropriate amount of time before tackling the paint, and better weather. Unfortunately, the owner did...

Thanks, man! :xyxthumbs: We got the C4 directly from GTechniq in the UK. So far it is superior to all other coatings for trim, makes them more dark and more glossy. But applying any of the coatings on trim when brand new will work great as they would not need much "darkening". We tried them on...

^+1 , just reapply :) I have applied it to a dirty windshield just fine ;) The solvents will clean off anything still on it.

use a respirator or good ventilation, and rubber gloves ;)

OMG what a resuscitation, Richy!! The whole car was nasty! Imagine trying to do this without Iron-X and the Tar Remover. Did you ever find out what the "chocolate" actually was? Nice house, though ;)

Oh man, what a ride!!! Well worth the 9 hour drive! Looking really good so far, can't wait to see the rest of it!!!

Chad, that is one BIG vehicle!! How long did it take you? Outstanding results! The color looks dripping wet with the Opti Guard, which has to be the perfect coating for any SUV!!! The vid is very nice as well, but you make it look too easy! ;)

Nice Phoenix Yellow!! 205 definitely worked nice on it! I did not know they are all single stage catalyzed. Great job!

Wheel Brightener will work much more than anything else. BTW, I was not satisfied with the Diablo as a cleaner, and I hate the bubblegum smell ;) Once you get them clean with WB, Diablo should suffice to keep them clean during subsequent washes.

DJRMT is my favorite gloss QD. Take into consideration it is not made for cleaning at all, just add shine, so it won't help much for water spots or bird droppings.

Quite a patina it acquired!! RR paint, even the metallic, is so rich and flat, OMG! Perfection as always, Bob! Outstanding work!

Hey wait, there are 2 caliper painting threads going on at the same time!? Each one has crazy turnarounds! What car are those brakes from?

A great paint job, and proper polishing, makes for killer reflections!!! Gotta love when car manufacturers take the time ($$) to flatten the paint correctly - no orange peel. Cosmin, outstanding correction! I'm gonna be dreaming of that paint tonight ;) Great job as always!!

Darn it, gonna need some SN wheel cleaner now for when the M3 gets out of the shop, as I am trying to use Supernatural exclusively on the car ;)
