    You KNOW someone is going to try it on failed clearcoat as soon as this is available...I mean really, what do you have to lose? Where's the popcorn emoticon?

    The World is About to Change

    I’ve got nothing to lose... I might be getting rid of the car soon anyways and I’ve already started trying any hacks that I can think of on it.

    A few days ago I coated the windshield with McKee’s Headlight Coating. I haven’t gotten around to testing the water behavior, but optically it’s crystal clear.

    Next I’m going to try different methods of polishing the clear plastic on the instrument panel/dashboard including using Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish because Sweet Project Cars swears it works flawlessly...

    Maybe we can convince Meghan to give you a sample in exchange for a review...when/if they start carrying it here at AG.

    You know I’m good for it. Either ways I can make good use of it because the roof of my DTS isn’t exactly restored to a mirror finish thanks to the neglect of the previous owner.



    My hood and trunklid to a lesser degree, meaning they look better than the roof, but they’re also not what you’d consider perfect by any means. I definitely think they might be a candidate for this new product.

    Notice the difference in shine on trunklid compared to the max shine on the quarter panel.



    I haven’t watched the entire vid, but I’m guessing those panels would be ideal? If not then what the heck is the ideal paint condition?

    You don't "need" a drill to put screws in either but it's a heck of a lot better to have one.

    with this product you cant apply it on perfectly polish surface it will not bond..need to use compound with wool or microfiber pad..then apply this product to level out those deep scratches and it will bond properly..good for thin clearcoat i guess..compound the car then dont polish it and apply this product..

    It's not designed for clearcoat failure. Yvan Lacroix said that you can apply it on something like that but it won't look good. Maybe it will stop the failure and prevent having to re-paint... who knows. Thing is, the product is a 100$ for a bottle and from what I have seen in Apex detailing's video, it looks horible unless you wetsand it and polish it... there was all sorts of wipe marks on the surface when he was done with his second coat. Also there is a long wait period between coats for for us mobile guys, we would be forced to stick to one coat.

    This product is better suited for a shop environment for sure. I don't know if people are gonna be willing to pay 300$+ for something that will not make the car look better in case of clear coat failure....
