Thanks!

What is Duragloss 501?

It certainly does!

Unfortunately, not touching it would've left the car looking awful. It's outside 24/7 and it's 3 years old. Wash techniques obviously haven't been good. The only powder coated part I found was the steel cage the kind of looks like a "C" starting from the A pillar.

Also make sure it shifts smoothly at high rpm.

I had some nasty water spotting to deal with too. That looks great Joe! Mine was yellow/black.

Talk about a car with a lot of different materials. It seems that there is molded plastic for the colored panels, the metal "cage" seems to be the powder coated part and then there the raw polish able plastic. Don't let me forget the see through roof! Takes a couple different processes to make...

Experience will be teaching me pretty soon. :)

Bingo! Having to change the charge and bake them doesn't work with a plastic panel. I think the Smart site copy is erroneous.

If you'd like to test the knowledge of the manufacturer, call Toyota and ask them what the paint process is on their jet black cars from the early 2000's. I PROMISE that they can't answer it reliably. There was no consistency among them. Some were cc, some were as and some tinted clear. What...

Thanks much! I'll take this info into battle. :D

Well I have one tomorrow. I guess I'll learn and pass back what I do. I'm pretty sure it's black and yellow but it might be black and red. At any rate, the info seems to be all over the place and I've never heard of powder coated polycarbonate. I'm sure to learn *something* on this one. :)

Has anyone ever polished one of those plastic cars? What did you use and how did it come out?

Painted aluminum is my vote as well. No metal polish for that.

They're in my back yard practically. Huge facility and instant gratification. :D

Bob, I have a lightweight Metabo rotary that's lightly used that I pretty sure I'm willing to part with. I just called your cell and it went to voicemail.

UTTG is an awesome product. It doesn't do well on dirty surfaces though. Some tires also don't like UTTG though. You can shine Michelin tire with spit but the tires that came on large SUV's in the mid 00's just soak UTTG up. I love it on everything else I've ever used it on. It's still...

Hey there Setec!

My old UPS guy had my cell number so that he could call if I needed to sign for a package. :)

Bob a newb? Not hardly! Bob, that's one that I've always wanted the answer to. Sometimes I just convince them to remove the badging and go stealth. Doesn't always work though. I just dot best to make sure that all the compound is out using blasts of steam. I'd guess that if the client is...
