Great beading effect...even after a month! This is such a great product..

Sounds good. Thanks Blackthorn...!

Well folks, I applied the mineral spirits to the scratches but the white paint marring that you see in the pictures, and some that you only see in person up close is still present. After applying the mineral spirits, I clayed the area but it didn't make much of a difference. Right now I'm...

Thanks. Does it really take 4-5 days for the touch up paint to dry? I not familiar with wet sanding so I don't know if I should do that...don't want to screw things up even more..

Forgot to ask, when do I apply the touch up paint? Before polishing? After polishing with M105 and before Collinite 845? Or is touch up paint applied at the very end?

Yes...waiting on the store. However, I inspected the cameras around the area and to me it looks like my car is out of view since I park far away from the store entrance.

Hey Kev, appreciate the input and I guess that'll be my last resort...hopefully it won't come to that.

Lol I hear ya man, but I really can't justify paying that deductible if I can do the job myself, especially when I have all the tools to get the job done...short of mineral spirits but that's like $5. Now if there was a dent in the quarter panel and things seemed out of line, then for sure I...

Yes sir, I bought the PC 7424xp last year. Haven't used any of the products I bought yet, just the collinite 845 and Klasse AIO to seal the fresh paint for winter. Well I'm gonna give it a go this weekend. I really appreciate all the tips! I will post back with pictures of my results (fingers...

Well, I spoke to my insurance guy and I will still have to pay a hefty deductible before they start paying. So I just told him that I'll think about it, but honestly I am going to try to fix this myself as it's not worth going through insurance. I already have tough up paint for this exact...

Thanks for the detailed explanation. You think it would be best to go with mineral spirits then? There is a Home Depot on my way back home from work so I'll grab a can this evening.

Thanks guys. What is the difference between mineral spirits and laquer thinner? Are they the same thing? Which one should I buy to get all that white paint off? I will contact my insurance today to see what they have to say about this.

Thanks Sectec. I just don't want to make things worse...thats what I am afraid of most right now, if I should attempt to buff this out myself or take it to a professional. The last thing I want is me making it worse and it ends up costing me more to repair through the dealership/private. Also...

Oh jeez...I was afraid of that. You think it'll need a paint job? What I have: -PC 7424xp (need to buy new pads) -Meg's 105 Polish -Collinite 845 -MF towels -Clay bars -Quick detailer spray

Hey folks, I was at the mall this afternoon and I parked my car in the parking lot. I usually park my car as far away as possible just to avoid situations like this..:doh: Well it happened. Someone tried to park beside me and ended up rubbing their bumper against the my side panel. The side...

You can say that again.... When I bought my new car last year, it had lots of swirls and holograms as I observed the paint when picking up the car at the dealership. I think dealerships do more damage than good to our cars lol. After polishing and sealing it however...the new car showroom...

I forgot to ask. I have this orbital polisher sitting around in the garage. I've never used it and I got it as a gift. You think this will do or should I still order the GR6"? Simoniz Palm Grip Polisher, 8-in. | Canadian Tire The only problem is that I don't think a polishing pad will...

Thanks, that looks good to me. My car is not in that bad of a shape as its only 7 months old (bought brand new). I did the baggie test on the paint all over the car and at some places I don't even feel any contaminants. Any comment on which polish I should get to remove swirls/light...

Appreciate the tips guys! So I will be ordering the GR6" polisher. However, I am not sure which polish I should get to remove the imperfections. They are not too bad (the car is only 7 months old), but the auto car wash is the main culprit here. James mentioned that I should get the...

Hey folks, I bought a new 2014 Camry SE last summer and unfortunately for my car, it had to endure one of the worst winters we've had. Over the winter, I would just run it through an automatic car wash after filling up at the gas station - big mistake, there are definitely swirls and small...
