Nice job. Did you use DLux or Motor Kote on the windshield cowl?

I use DLux (https://www.autogeek.net/cquartz-dlux.html) on the wiper cowl...and sometimes I use DLux on the face of the wiper arms.

Yup, it’s important to try and keep those wiper arms looking new because once they start to fade they’re never quite the same again.[emoji1417]

How does the re application of DLux usually work in lets say 1-2 years? Can it be simply re applied over the pre existing layer? Or is it necessary to strip before re applying?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, it’s just I’ve heard varying opinions about how DLux ages over time.

If you find a way to strip Dlux short of compounding, please let me know.
