    To the guys that have cordless Shinemates 15mm and 21mm, what's this I hear about the charger draining the battery if you leave it on there after it's fully charged?

    Help Identify this problem

    Do you have black paint on your pad? If you do that means you went through the clear coat. If you don't have black paint on your pad then it's possible this car has had X-Kote or RestorFX applied to it and that's what you're removing. It's a pain in the ass to take off.

    Coating experts: I need your opinions here

    It looks like the soap is drying up on the car before he gets a chance to rinse it. He's taking too long and letting the soap sit there and dry up. I suggest soaping and rinsing one panel at a time like @spazzz suggested and see if the problem persists.

    Micro-marring on black paint

    I'm not as experienced as some of the guys here but I do work on a lot of soft black paint. I've narrowed it down to 3 things.

    Nope you won't screw up your paint. Actually by the time summer comes that sealant might not even be on your paint anymore

Whatever they put on your paint is probably just a sealant. It won't last...

    What exactly is X Kote???

    Cleaning engine bay?

    Disconnect the battery, cover the MAF sensor, cover the alternator. You already have a plastic engine cover protecting coils etc. so you should be fine. Spray APC/degreaser, agitate, rinse, dry, reconnect battery and you're good to go.
