Can a scratch like that spread?

Thanks. I tried Goo Gone on a qtip (can't reach it otherwise) . It didn't seem to remove it. I thought it was a weird direction to get a scratch as well. I will try some IPA

We bought our car out of state. I was removing the state inspection sticker from the inside windshield. I used Goof Off, a hair dryer and a razor Looks like I may have left a 1/2" horizontal scratch. It's above where the VIN is and not noticeable unless looking for it. I'm surprised this...

Found a scratch on my Escalade's black wheels. Griots Paint Correcting Cream didn't seem to help. It's tiny and there are 3 small "white marks." Is there a particular paint I can use? High gloss black Thank you

Hello. Have a '25 Escalade. I was doing the initial wash on it and noticed a pen tip sized dot on the drivers side door. Not sure if this is from a small rock or a defect in the paint. I hadn't noticed it before Thoughts ? Claying it did not remove it (no surprise). It *appears* to be raised...

My wife would agree with you! :D

Thank you Mike! Great pics. That’s the anniversary Trans Am if I remember correctly. My high school wet dream. I have decided to set up an appointment with a local sign company for the install. My truck is a raptor, the graphics were $700 and I don’t want to take the chance !

Yeap. That being said , trying to get some other quotes

I have received a quote of $375 to install these. Holy hell, it can’t take more than an hour to do. That’s a hell of a rate

Thank you! Great info

Hi Mike i have a 2020 Ford Raptor and I will be installing OEM bedside decals (as attached). 2 questions : 1. What should I use to prep the area to remove wax etc ? 2. These graphics are $650/pair and I’m really trying to ensure I do this right. Does a spray bottle with a soapy mix still...

My Raptor did not come with bedside “Raptor” graphics, and I’m considering putting some on. My truck only has wax (Chemical Brothers Hydra Slick). Is dawn soap and water sufficient to prep the surface ? I’m assuming isopropyl alcohol would be harmful to painted surfaces ? thank you ps: Any...

D*mmit :) If you do seminars up north ever , let me know lol

Thank you for the replies. So I just need something confirmed. A local detailer I spoke with said my scratches could not be addressed. He said : “Once you can feel them with your finger, cerium oxide won’t help. You need to replace the glass.” He basically said that cerium oxide and rayan pads...

Thanks for the replies. What kind of costs can I expect from wrapping the bumper, hood and fenders ? Can I expect to see discrepancies in the paint (compared to what was not protected) once the film is removed down the road ?

I have a new Ford Raptor I will be using for mostly daily driving and infrequent (mild) off roading and I’d like to protect the paint. I’m hesitant to explore Modesta ceramic coatings, because I understand there is annual maintenance you must do with the installer ? So I found a local...

I have 3 white scratches, in close proximity to each other, on my driver’s side window. I hadn’t noticed them until my windows were tinted. I own a Bauer 6” da and Griot’s 3” da. I am planning to use the Griot’s to try and buff them out. But had the following questions : - What speed should I...

:xyxthumbs:

Yes sir Thanks, will give that a try. Yes, it shredded the towel :)

What’s a safe way to remove this? After using a DA buffer and Griot’s polish, I noticed white dust all over the steps of my truck. Tried removing it with Gold Class car wash and a microfiber towel, to no avail The steps are coated with a grip tape type finish
