    Care for matte finishes?

    you can use any spray wax on the matte paint, paste or liquid might make it glossy so they should be avoided, swissvax makes a wax for matte paints but its too expensive

    Improving green single stage paint on old vw bus

    there are not many defects as the paint is pretty new, if any defects are present then they would most likely be a result of wrong compounding technique. ill check with the owner to tell if there is any orange peel, if not then i guess a combo of m7 (just to make things even better) and m80...

    Improving green single stage paint on old vw bus

    is it okay to apply wax between m7 applications, the bus might be parked in the open and in the morning we can see some water condensed on vehicles so just want to be careful.

    Improving green single stage paint on old vw bus

    actually the bus is 1500 km away from my location so there is not a chance that i will be able to go there to test m80. the owner can order from amazon once we finalize what is best to do.

    Restoring the red paint on my Suzuki

    the m80 bottle says that m80 leaves a layer of breathable protection, what type of protection is it referring to, i don't think it contains any carnauba or polymers? :)
