No-wax paint....

No-wax paint....


Was at the local Stuart Tuesday night car show last night. I try to go to this show every Tuesday night as Autogeek is a sponsor and I like to check out the car and talk shop with all the local car guys....


There was a Jeep at this show that was painted using truck bed liner! While it looked pretty cool there's no way you could ever wax this Jeep as the extreme pebble texture would simply trap too much wax in all the cracks and crevices then dry and turn white.

Might be a good candidate for a coating or something like the CarPro Hydro2 Touchless Silica Sealant (http://www.autogeek.net/carpro-hydro2-silica-sealant.html).

Interesting to say the least. At least paint touch ups could applied with a roller after the trail.

A lot of jeep owners up by me do that.

I have seen this as well on pickup trucks. Some put it along the bottom, but I have seen one I can recall that was a full coverage.

They look more like some sort of little flyer things or raffle tickets or something.

Correct. They are business cards. The guy with the Jeep is a car salesman and he was there to sell the Jeep.

I was mostly talking to the guy parked next to him with the 1970 black Ford Torino. The guy that owns the Torino was telling me how swirled out his car's paint is so I gave him a flyer for Cars & Coffee and told him to come to the upcoming Thursday project.

My buddy uses bed liner in his engine bay which I thought was cool and creative. That Jeep is insane!

I am assuming business cards for the spray they put on the truck

and I see Mike stated that already... fail on my part

Shoot, I better get my eyeballs calibrated, my first thought was business cards, but when I looked closer they seemed to be too big for business cards.
