It doesn't get washed often enough. Like I said, it is no excuse but life just gets in the way - hence the reason for automatic car washes.

I took a closer look yesterday with it outside of the...

I guess I need to know, how would I be able to tell after polishing if it is trying to fail?

We have a '17 Tahoe that's black and the hood has started to look questionable. Before I go further, I have actually done a full paint correction on a black Corvette, and you can read about and see...

Never heard of this rinseless wash thing. Going to have to do some research on it.

It is definitely a lot of work. Using Klasse is like rubbing elmers glue on, and even harder to buff it off :laughing:

The vehicles do stay outside. One may be garaged some of the time. I know I'm...

Interesting that Klasse is old news. Guess I have been out of the loop for a while. That being said, What would be a good sealant or surface protectant?

It will mainly be dust that gets washed...

I'm trying to research all I can on this. My wife and I just recently acquired two newer vehicles, both black and larger in size. I am no stranger to the whole paint correction process or paint care....

I know that it will need a new bumper. I can find a used one or a take off where someone went with fabbed bumpers. Not sure about the panel. The tailgate is fine, no issue there. The panel with...

Have a vehicle that I am thinking of buying. It is a 2015 model chevy 2500HD. I think the damage was done by a jack knifed trailer. Definite bumper replacement and possibly a reskin of the bed panel....

Well, I'm a little late, but better late than never right? Sorry..I have been terribly busy.

I got the front fender done last weekend, and that about wraps it up. I had done the headlight covers...

Thanks folks. I have not done that passenger front fender or the hood yet. I plan to get to it before the weekend is over.

High resolution pics from the Unveiling..check out the swirls and paint iperfections..hard to believe GM would let this slip by!

Got that fender and the driver door done over the weekend.

Here is the driver back fender all taped up and prepped.

I am into reloading (ammunition for firearms) and one of the common practices among reloaders is adding Nu Finish to the walnut media when tumbling used brass to clean it.

What I am trying to...

And if you notice..my dang nose emblem has decided to self...

Thanks for the encouragement. Here is a pic of the back left fender. One hour in sanding the small scratches with the trizact pad. 36 hours in now.

Thanks for replying to the thread. You reminded me I need to update. I have been pretty busy / lazy over the holidays, and have not wanted to mess with this thing. Burned out isn't the word, but I...

The reason I was asking about "by hand" stuff is because he will never take the time to do any type of machine buffing or really get after it. He owns a business and stays wrapped up. If it is...

Is there anything that could be applied by hand by chance?

My uncle has a super duty Ford pickup and is having some issues with etching on the glass. I told him I would consult with you all here and see if you knew anything he could try. He said he has tried...

I appreciate the kind words, help, and support. If it were not for this forum, I may still be in the situation I was. Fortunately, this has taught me the beginning stages of a very unique skill that...

Took on the door today. Here's a shot of it taped off and ready to take a beating..

Thanks. Still haven't tried the microfiber pads yet. I'm gonna try to go after that door today when I get off of work.

Here's another shot of that side. The afternoon sun shows alot.
