Hey! Sounds like the car needs to be decontaminated (Clay and/or Iron remover) When is the last this was done? Take a plastic bag, put on hand and rub the paint, if it feels rough or gritty, which I am assuming it will based on your description, then it needs to be decon'd

Thank you, Mike! Appreciate the reply.

Hi all, I was looking to see if anyone knew much about the difference between the two pads? Thanks! Lake Country HDO 5.5 Inch Foam Pads ORIGINAL 5.5 x 1.25 Inch Hydro-Tech Tangerine Ultra Polishing Foam Pad Thanks in advance!

Ill make this quick I used rustoleum - Read all the reviews; all the good and all the bad. Everything inside me said don't use it and spend more for other kits. I was stubborn. I grinded the concrete floor (it had LAYERS of old paint from previous home owner) - Followed all the steps properly...

I will begin my stating I am not a professional painter/body work guy. That being said, my understanding is the area needs to be properly sanded down to bare metal and then prepped for paint. (sand down to metal, prime, paint) Nothing against your mechanic/friend but if he just paints over...

Yeah, that looks to definitely be chipped paint and rust underneath Touch up paint will be a temporary fix, once something rusts, it will continue to do so until fully fixed. Rust will remain underneath even with paint over top. Iron remover also wouldn't be a perm. solution.

Thank you for the info!

Hello all, Looking for recommendations on garage floor paints that you may have used. Thank you!

Great write up, Mike. Incredibly in depth and informative. Love the visuals as well.

Maybe some side mirror covers? Hoping maybe it will make the bird feel like the cover is slippery/unfamiliar thus making him *hopefully* move on. I use them when I wash my car because so much water stays inside and even using a blower takes forever to get it out. The ones I have go on/off very easy.

I hope to give an update on my findings soon. I have used this product on 3 different vehicles, so to preface I will give this. Then, will report more. Vehicle 1: Mine, 2013 Mazda 3, applied March 3rd, only used on GLASS. Glass was clayed, polished and coated with Mothers. Sat in garage for 2...

Jaw drop. Amazing work! Always enjoy when you post your details!

Yeah, I definitely agree with leaving a google/yelp review.

1- I am lazy and almost skipped reading this 2- Worth reading since you got the car back, and got to him. 3- I really hope everything works out for you, Indy. Sorry to hear this, man.
