    Well Paul, #476 is called double coat and as you know "'thin is in" with that one, as well as #915. That said, I never had an issue removing any of them but yet the narrative would always be how hard it was to remove!

    Oh hell yeah.

    But even in the thinnest coat possible, 476 takes a bit of muscle if left to sit for let's say 30 minutes. Not impossible to remove, but certainly no walk in the park. Not like 845.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    I replaced the just over 3yo battery yesterday and gave my car its 1st wash in over a month.

    About 20 minutes. It was easy to remove because I applied a thin layer.
    I believe in treating everybody with respect, and clean cars. That’s what I believe in.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Not that a 6 month old; lightly driven engine is going to be a dirty mess and I have wiped it down quickly prior, but I decided to do a little preemptive engine care/detailing today. The engine was not terribly dirty, so it did not need a major cleaning, I used a simple quick rinseless wash and applied this product to the entire engine. KOCH CHEMIE - Motorplast. Simple spray on and let dry.

    Cleaned and coated the engine hood's painted underside. Rinsed the car, did a RR wash with Griots BRW, followed by Fictech's car sealant.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Wife’s navigator still... on the front bumper and full rear ended I:

    Used ferrous dueller
    Clayed with Meg’s pro mild and Dodo juice clay lube
    Polish with PC, LC hydrotech red 3” pad, and Mezerna SF 4000
    And applied my first coat of CQuartz Lite. Gotta catch my breath and wait the minimum hour to get the second on.

    That’ll complete coating except for ‘gulp’ the roof. Pulling out in the sun helped a lot finding high spots.

    Finally started driving the RAM since being polished and then protected with Meguiar's Hybrid Paint Coating.

    Put the coating on everything but glass and tires.

    Glass received Gtechniq G1 on windshield and Gtechniq G5 on the rest.

    Tires have Meguiar's Hyper-Dressing on them.

    I agree.

    Chrysler, I mean FCA, I mean Stelantis.... has always had great paint. Right in the middle or a tad closer to the hard side. No games with thinning, etc.

    And their metallic paint is pretty nice. I wanted Granite Crystal on this one and had to work hard to find this truck in this color.

    I had a Fiat 500 Abarth before the ES and it was metallic black and I loved it. In certain light, you could see a brown to it even, crazyWhat did you do today, in regards to detailing?
