I'm looking for advice on gelcoat porosity. A few yrs ago I wet sanded a red/white 1996 14' racing sailboat with 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 & 3000. Cross sanding each grit with a fluorescent light to double check for previous grit sanding marks. It took quite a bit of time, but...

Also I'm fairly confident that this was a bad repaint perhaps done by a cheap body shop prior to flipping a car. The back quarter has spot that looks like they loaded the gun and it was clogged and then shot out a wad of metallic all in one location. Never sprayed a car before, but that's what...

So in the past I always loved driving the car to a quarter car wash and spraying it down myself, and then driving home to do another wash in the driveway. But that still requires you to either soap it with a mitt or dry it off at the car wash. As kids came along i learned that i didn't have 12...

Makes sense. I was trying to turn my OCD off a bit to keep my wife from killing me. Figured I didn't need high tech soap from Germany ;) But maybe I need to put more thought into the purchase of the back end items. Just to help me in the future, let's do a hypothetical scenario that...

The issue is only on the repainted panels. I'm positive the marks aren't under the clear as I was able to remove every flaw with the Pinnacle product and it looking amazing under natural light and CFL. The light scratches only appeared immediately after i used the foam mitt. And the marks...

Can you speak to the difference of the Costco MF's compared to a pro brand? They seem to perform really well over the past 10 yrs that I've used them. I've worked both cars and boats with them and under my CFL work light I've never seen even the slightest sign them causing damage. So if they...

The soap is Meguiar's Deep Crystal Car Wash. It says "preserves wax protection", so I assumed it wasn't super aggressive. The mitt was from Walmart. I thought it was MF, but looking online it may be sythentic wool like the attached. Hard to say as I rip all tags off...

Have a black '11 MDX with repainted panels onthe passenger side, but didn't realize it when I bought it. Car was in reallybad shape and looked like someone had taken the automatic car wash broom andraked it over the entire car. Being WAY off the OCD spectrum I made thedecision to DA the car...
