    Sealant makes chipping worse?

    Some time ago i saw a thread somewhere on Sealants making paint seem to chip more easily. Normally i would poo poo this, but i did just get back into sealants, did my wifes late model Acura, took what i thought was a very minor gravel hit in the nose and now have 50-100 tiny chips on the hood...

    Polishes for 3401 please

    First post. History with perfect-it/waffle pad/air rotary. As the clearcoat is getting too thin on my 91 black flattened out NSX, I just bought the flex 3401 and hope to find a polish for it that will equal the perfect-it if possible(?). I will also be doing a gray RDX and an old near...
