Nice job as usual! Does that paint gauge tell you how much is clear paint and how much is base paint?

Great work again, missed the hp and 0-60 times, LOL!

Quick question on the Gyeon Leather Shield, is it tricky to work with? I'm curious to try it but this local detail shop basically told me you need to be a professional like them to use it, so I bought Gyeon leather, thoughts?

Fight: This one does not.

Klasse: I find it very easy to use. Not tricky or finicky at all. Pick up a bottle and go for it. Leaves the surface very 'silky' feeling and works very well to repel spills/etc.

Nice work as always! I’m a big fan of the McKee’s iron remover, definitely one of the best I’ve used.

Did you find that the Acura MDX Clearcoat was soft, medium or hard? I have a 2020 and wanted to see what I should start with for a test panel.

[Sizzle Chest]

^^^If I remember correctly it was on the medium side. Corrected very nicely.

Thank you, beautiful job!

Would you recommend medium pad (like an Orange Hex Pad, or Uro-Fiber 50/50 pad) and a medium compound like Correcting Cream or 3D One on it then?

[Sizzle Chest]

You are most welcome and than you for the comments!


I would recommend doing a test spot with the least aggressive 'setup' you have and see what results you achieve. Then step it up from there if needed. (all paint can be different, even on the same vehicle--could have had body work/repaint/touch up/etc, so always careful and use the 'least aggressive method' first.)

Hope this helps ya!

Lots of iron on that bad boy! Nice work. We used to have a white MDX (prev. gen.) and it was a fantastic car.

^^Thanks!!!
