    Optimum Gloss Coat - did not work on my car! (w pics)

    I have a 2012 Camaro in a metallic black coat. A few years ago someone backed into me and I have my rear bumper replaced/painted. Little did I know the body shop did a very bad job.

    new car: polish before seal, dumb idea?

    picked up a new car and the dealer didn't touch it, and i even looked at the paint and it looked to be in good condition. i didn't inspect it superbly, but i really didn't notice any swirls or marring of any kind. i've had a PC forever and my natural instinct was to use a light polish and then...

    clear bra install - perfection possible?

    I had a clear bra installed a few weeks back which was really important to me with my new car. The only issue is that I had a very difficult time finding an installer, but I finally found an authorized installer of Xpel. Xpel sells a cutting kit with the film, and you dial in the vehicle and...
