I recently was involved in an accident and the whole front clip of my car had to be repainted. It was painted in bc/cc-Dupont. This is my daily driver and so I need it to commute to and from work. As I have read it is important to let new paint cure/outgas for at least 30-60 days before...

I have a white powder coated wheel. I have tried sealants and coatings. What happens is the brake dust (esp on the fronts) turn the color a light rust type color. I use a dilluted Optimum Power Clean and it cleans it off, but is there anything else I could do? I have used sealants, coatings...

What lighting source do you use for white and sliver colored vehicles? I have a hard time picking up the defects with these colors under normal lighting conditions or using a led, xenon, or halogen portable light or flashlight. The best I can do is turn off all the lights and use an old clip on...

I was working on a blue metallic 2006 Infinity M35. Really bad swirls throughout from a life of gas station car washes. Under the hood was the sticker indicating hard clear coat. I did not think much of it since in the past all Infinities I have touched had pretty soft paint, but I tried...

My father does not keep the best care of his car so as a good son I try to maintain it for him. I used Opticoat/Duragloss/Collonite/Finish Care among other things and some have worked better than others. From your experience what has been the best to protect against water spotting? Thanks

This is the first time this has happened to me. I was cleaning and claying a one year old Ford Fusion in pearl white. The car has been driven but the paint looked pretty good but when I felt it and looked closer into the paint I could see black specs. I clayed using my Meguiars clay bar an...
