I decided to try 22ple on my car this spring. I was looking at it closely the other day and noticed I had picked up some light wash marring.
I was already thinking of going back to my old sealant/wax routine anyway. I've liked the water sheeting and beading a lot but I think my car looked better back when I used Blackfire Wet Diamond. I'm not so sure I'm a coating guy.. I love the durability aspect of it but I just can't seem to keep my car completely swirl-free. Winters with snow and ice, snow brushes.. Here is the thing, I like having a swirl free car but I really hate the polishing part. Just so time consuming.. haha. My old routine was glaze, sealant and then if I had extra time.. a coat of wax every now and then
So.. I tested out polishing the hood with FG400 and a white hybrid pad using my Flex 3401. I then sprayed some IPA mix, wiped it down, and then sprayed it down with the hose to see where I got. The water did not immediately sheet off like it usually would.. but it eventually sheeted off and the rest beaded up like the 22ple was still holding strong.
What would I have to do to totally remove it?
Do I have any other options?
I was wanting to try Black Label paint sealant instead if I could remove the 22ple. I'm guessing it won't stick to the 22ple though. I almost wonder if I should just attempt to re-coat with 22ple and stick with it
