    Is my cars paint destroyed? FL Love Bugs

    The bugs are pretty small and seem to leave yellow spots. Hopefully it wont be an issue. With opticoat Ive seen etching from bird poo but it goes away after a week or so after washing off. Not sure how that works but Ive seen others experience the same.

    I carry quick detailer + micofibers in my car. But it's so dirty I dont want to smear it as mentioned above. I was out of town for 1.5 weeks and wasnt able to set an appointment with detailer till Friday.

    Is my cars paint destroyed? FL Love Bugs

    SOrry to bump this old thread but are all bugs acidic or is it just love bugs? I havent washed mine off in over a month and it's been baking in the sun. I have no idea what type of bugs they are but I live in California, where we dont have lovebugs. I have an appointment with my detailer on...

    Repairing scuffs on matte black grill

    It is a Subaru BRZ. I can post pictures tomorrow. Will I be able to use the spray for just one section of the grill? Im afraid that if I do that, the blacks will not match. Also two of the scuffs are not so light as it scraped in a bit into the plastic.

    Repairing scuffs on matte black grill

    I hope I posted this in the right. My license plate caused some scuffs on my grill. How easy/cheap is it to repair this?

    Removing hard water spots on Opti-Coat

    Will water spots be more difficult to remove the longer I leave it on? It is extremely hard for me to see the water spots and the only time I can get a good look at them is at night with a lamp directly above it Im wondering if I should pay a professional to remove it all for me (Im sure I cant...

    Removing hard water spots on Opti-Coat

    Should I use white vinegar like QD? I tried QD and it didnt remove the water spots. Hopefully white vinegar can.

    Removing hard water spots on Opti-Coat

    There are some hard water spots on my car. Im assuming they are from washing although I could have sworn the areas were dried. Can they be effectively removed without having to polish out the Opti-Coat?

    What type of scratches can polish fix?

    Does polish really "remove" scratches? If so then my fault

    What type of scratches can polish fix?

    What type of scratches can polish fix?

    If I can "hide" these scratches to the point it would be invisible to the naked eye, it would be enough. It's the second time Ive done this but this time it was much worse. I just hope the Opti-Coat minimized the scratching onto the clear coat and paint

    What type of scratches can polish fix?

    I had my car opti-coated in November and today I was standing on a curb next to my car and as I stepped down, I accidentally stepped on part of the bumper. With rocks and grime stuck under my sandles, it scratched the bumper. It's not deep but I'm not sure if it is that light either. Is it safe...

    Convince me to wash my car with rain in sight

    Checked the weather yesterday and there was no rain for the next week... checked again today and it will rain tonight. I was planning to wash my car later today but it will likely rain tonight into tomorrow morning. I was planning to install my mudguards tomorrow and wanted to clean the area...

    Rinsing car w/ pressure washer then drying

    I could use a bucket and pour it over my car as a pre-rinse since I have a small coupe. Would a chemical sprayer be better or worse for rinsing? I was looking at this: Amazon.com: Smith 190285 1-Gallon Bleach & Chemical Sprayer With Non-Corrosive 14-Inch Wand and Single Nozzle System: Patio...

    Rinsing car w/ pressure washer then drying

    I do not have a water hose available. The closest ones are all about a 20 minute drive away. If I want to rinse my car before washing it, I would have to drive 20 minutes home and will result in water spots (unless I use distilled water at a coin op which is 20-25 minutes away). I live far away...

    Rinsing car w/ pressure washer then drying

    This is slightly off-topic but can I do this: Hose off my car and let the water dry with hard water spots to get off the heavy grime. Use the 2BM later in the day or the next day. Will it be harmful for the minerals from the dry water to stay on my paint?

    Rinsing car w/ pressure washer then drying

    Im worried the 2BM would cause scratches/marring without an initial rinse as I will be dragging the dirt as well though in greater quantities. I really want to do the 2BM but Im too scared. What if my car hasnt been washed for 1+ months and I want to use the 2BM without an initial rinse (the...
