MINE. This is too much work to contemplate for some one else's car

I have new paint on the center panel. I am correcting the orange peel and whatnot on it. I notice some orange peel on the louvers(sp?) and I am afraid to attack them because I wont be able to get a machine there to buff. Any advice or link to an article would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your help. I couldn't get good before pics, this is the best one. I don't know what happened to the rest of my text. One on the left is before. Very hard to do. Took a lot of work with RA then 3 inch machine for tight spots. Wife is pleased with outcome. I know you wont see...

thank you. Very Kind.

New England. And I have well water. No iron to speak of, slightly acidic, has carbonates

I have the Griot's DA 5.5 inch and the 3 inch. I have some foam and some microfiber pads. I would think it best to use the 3 inch? There's a lot of vertical holding to do and physically I have a few issues. I seem to recall, back a couple of decades, that when we got fiberglass parts for...

OK, So I have a fiberglass tub enclosure. Wife reports that after cleaning the shower is dull. I can see the kind of scratches you can't feel but, make the surface look dull under the light. So this unit is gray and I guess the color would be in the gel coat? I had a small OLD sample of...

Anyone have a thread on cleaning a glass shower enclosure? No scratches just hard water film. Have Griot's DA and microfiber cut, polish, LC orange cut, LC black polishing pad. What polish? ?

You agree with Andre, then? I must re polish the car to remove every bit of SiO2 sealant? Panel wiping wont do it?

thank you, Andre. I will make a decision about this as soon as I can stop kicking myself in the ass.

OK, While the car is still clean and in the garage, do I need to remove the SiO2 sealant to install the Ceramic Spray Coating, and would that be just another panel wipe with WG panel prep or would I have to buff the "SiO2" Sealant

thanks, I should probably know this but I don't. Is there a way to contact Andre and ask? duplicate post. excuse

thanks, I should probably know this but I don't. Is there a way to contact Andre and ask?

MIke, Is there a diifference between the spray you are using to ceramic install and Wolfgang Concours SiO2 Paint sealant in the lotion type bottle? also with this lotion it says to let dry for 15 minutes. Is this dwell time important to bonding? And should a second coat be applied for extra...

it's a new car!! My first question is...is this covered under warranty? Can't hurt to ask. Ask the salesman, he has a vested interest in keeping you happy.

I can’t see the factory doing low quality paint like that but anything is possible. I don’t recall seeing what brand/model this is. ha ha ha. And lots of cars are damaged during delivery and are repaired and sold new and the buyer is not told. I recall someone suing BMW over this...and...

Agree. But my blue Griots towels, nice and fluffy to the touch and clean, started to leave lint all over my car when using them to wipe off DA compound and polish residue. Did they just get old or did I do something wrong?

don't waste your time with Tarminator. It doesn't even work on "tar". I had lots of pine sap, ate through the paint on my old car. Cut down the tree. 2 yrs later the oak tree behind where the Pine tree was dropped a branch across the roof of the car. Full strength IPA will dissolve the Pine...

Please tell us it didn't shear off while you were using it on the car and make nasty damage to paint

Right, not doing the center panel. So, which makes sense for the rest of the car? You're saying I will have to polish when I get the car back anyway? Or would the WG spray ceramic prevent contaminants from getting into the paint and just need to hit it with their cleaner? That's about as...
