I'm not saying this is gospil, but... 6 months ago while at my PPG refresher course I was told by the PPG reps that There are only a couple manufacturers using waterborn paint and on top of that it is only on a hand full of colors. Water born clear coats do exist but no one uses them...

I am a little shocked a dab of polish didn't do the trick but if you cant get it off with a hand rub and compound, I second the CLR. I have used a 50/50 dilution with distilled water and CLR to remove water spots and mill fall out on entire cars without issue. I always recommend testing small...

I hope I'm not too late. Can you please send me a copy to [email protected] ?

what do you charge for that kind of service now?

I have two Flex polishers and the metal base around the gears gets so hot that I can't even touch it. It has caused problems with the backing plates heating up and ruining the Velcro on the backing plate. it gets to the point where the pads wont stick to the backing plate all together. Once the...

U have had the same spray bottles and heads for almost a year. from wheel acid, alcohol, to basic detail spray none of them have gone out. I bought mine from chemical guys but they look just like these. High Output Chemical Resistant Sprayer

From my experience the prep work is the most important part. To start I do a quick clay treatment when I am washing the car to make sure any bug guts and tar are removed. after the wash I use my 3M 3" air polisher equip with a M3 purple foam polishing pad and Gtecjniq G4 nano Polish. I dont...

I have been wondering about these. how does the paint feel? I bet it's a nightmare to match if it is in an accident...

After a strong cleaning I wipe with an alcohol prep and treat with Gtechniq Luquid Crystals C2V3 in the jambs and under sides of the hood and deck lid. it is as easy to apply as detail spray and It really does a great job of keeping it clean. What little gets back in rinses away with ease. I...

Just so you know without a good amount of maintenance clear blends can come back to haunt you. Make sure you are keeping a good sealer on the area after the paint has fully cured otherwise the clear blend lines will inevitably face back looking almost as bad as the chipping you may be covering...

:xyxthumbs: And that's why he makes the big bucks!

it's tough to tell. the "Clear" they use on those hoods always seem to polish out more like a resin. As much as I like the final finish of these newer water based compounds like Menzerna ans Sonax, when it comes to heavy cutting i always find more satisfaction with 3m. I also have more of a...

105 has tons of fillers in it. Try wiping it down with rubbing alcohol to see the final results before you decide it it is done.

You are going to need more power than a DA buffer IMO. Try 1500 wet sand to 3000 Trizack on a DA then follow up with some 3M Extra cut on a Foam pad and taper from there. For all the work you are going to put into this with a buffer you may be better off to have it wet sanded in 600 and a...

Where in Indiana are you located. I have a detail shop in Valparaiso. It's funny but you sound exactly like me when I trying to decide which route to go. After about a year of research, I tried Simonized Glass coat, Opti Gloss, Ceramic Pro, Chemical Guys Second Skin, and Gtechniq. I ultimately...
