I have a question regarding just exactly how much protection is being removed when a finish with orange peel is sanded. If were to look at a cross section of the paint you'll see high and low spots, i.e. orange peel, and all the sanding really does is remove the high spots of the paint, if you...

I put a coat on my wife's new 2013 Durango and about 2 months later while washing it I noticed a ton of water spots on the hood. As far as I know it was only out in the rain one time in that 2 months. Guess I'm in the minority....I'm not impressed.

If you are overpronated you won't find a better shoe than the Brooks Beast. I used to have trouble with low back pain, but since I switched to these I have none. Most sneakers/tennis shoes have no support whatsoever......Nike are some of the worst.....and offer no aid in keeping you from...

wish they would have built the concept car.......the back looks too much like a camaro......ick!!!!

Thanks so much for the help guys. I think that I'll order up the Carpro Eraser and go with what I've already bought. Looks like we may end up buying a new Dodge Durango today so I'll be having 2 vehicles to protect instead of one. The wife's new one will probably be the first one pulled into...

Thanks Mike. I think that the easiest thing in the long run for me is to just buy the Optimum polishes and go that route. I don't want to work for a few days getting the car perfect and then undo it with a wipe down of some sort. Which products to do you recommend and with what pads? Thanks...

Here she is the day I brought her home :xyxthumbs:

I was under the impression that an IPA wipe down was the recommended last step before applying opti coat, no? I was planning to use about a 15-20% solution and wipe dry with double plush microfiber towels. Thanks

It's black....do they make them in any other color? :) I previously had a 2011 SX model, but the year end incentives and some Dodge loyalty money made the switch pretty painless. Got the Hemi and the 6 speed now I should be content for a couple years :)

I just picked up my Christmas present.....a 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T. I have a new vial of Opti Coat 2.0 and want to make the paint as perfect as possible before applying it. I have the following tools at my disposal, but am open to getting more/something else if it will give a better result...

Well if it's anything like the black paint on my 2011 Challenger then it would be a good candidate for a wet sanding class. So much orange peel that some groves down there in Florida would be jealous!!!! I removed every mark from mine and it still looks terrible. I know that it's not...

As someone who makes a living doing RF power design...hang in there!!! I go to work and play every day and make a good living doing it. Something that you could possibly look into is what I did when I was in school...get involved in a CO-OP program. Lots of companies have a system already in...

Re: 39 more dust nibs I love Dodge's too, but am absolutely disgusted with the paint job on my 2011 Challenger....it looks like a football texture wise and I haven't found a single panel on the car that has a spot with level clear coat.....I'd be embarrassed to put out a product that looked...

Same here...I'm in the middle of a water spot nightmare on my black 2011 Dodge Challenger....it's taking a green cutting pad and 2 passes of M105 to remove them.....

seems everyone agrees....I hate them too!!!!!

the best part to me was that clear coat is on your car when new but magically disappears and leaves the poor base coat to fend for itself.

5:08 here....audio would sure be nice :) :xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs::xyxthumbs:

and here we are years and years later and still have unexpected hang ups and blue screens!!!Im the MANIm the MANIm the MANIm the MANIm the MANIm the MANIm the MAN
