IMO. I think a nice wash, clay and ipa wipe would remove this so called Zaktek Paint Sealant. You will be fine but I would recommend using a durable protection like a beginner coating Gtechniq C2v3.

you can try Jason over at Detailing Inc

i second the c1 and exo!

That clear is checked and needs a repaint!

By fully protect I mean it will not stop oxidation or chemical etching. The issue is that coatings are not thick enough to seal off all the pours, therefor oxidation and chemical etching can happen. Heavy chemicals like wheel acid, stong apc's and tire cleaners will stain.

There is no coating on the market that will full protect bare aluminum! Alumiclear is a clear coat that can be used. It will fully protect from oxidation and staining from heavy chemicals. Again there is no coating on the market other than a clear coat that will protect aluminum completely!

you should try gtechniq mat dash it will not wash away or stay on top of the surface, it actually seals the surface so it is more permanent.

you have to try it it's awesome!

IMO I would try to remove them with a chemical like Spotless from Carpro or Crystal Clear 550 from Winsol before polishing them off. Glass can be marred by abrading it. The compound might not polish out scratches but it can scratch.

The dewalt is a little to powerful for me, I would go with the makita or the flex. IMO, and yes they can all run the smaller pads. It is just that the dewalt has a hair trigger and the other machines have a softer start.

hydro can be used on all surfaces

Re: Sign-up: Special Guest to be announced! Put me down

I do a lot of metal polishing and what I think happened is you didn't need to do a cross hatch sanding for one and you didn't fully remove the lower grade sand scratches as you progressed up. What I do is usually by machine with an interface pad always and inspect before moving on. After...

Re: Special Project - Experienced Detailers Needed Last night was awesome! Having the chance to meet with an industry leader and test new products doesn't come around very often. Thanks to Autogeek for putting together this great event.

you can use a little distilled water sprayed on your applicator to help keep the product wet longer

I really think you would be best to do a coating. Gtechniq c1 and exo would be good. This gives you a good clear coating to help from it oxidizing again and it will last. The problem with wax and sealants is they can't fill all the pores like a multiple coat coating.

you can use the lc thin purple foamed wool pads with your pc but watch out because they love to delam. there is a product called crystal clear 550 that works wonders on water spots on almost any surface

I would buy one it's most likely just as good as the rupes

Great advise from the rest of you!
