A warning on "paint wrinkle"!!!

[CEE DOG]

Im sorry this happened Chad. It looks like everything has been handled just as it should though. Thank you for sharing the thread. I don't think you can count how many people you will help. Nobody is respected more than you in this community so by you posting this it will have maximum impact and save many a lot of trouble. I'm locking this in to be more careful on the plastic bumpers. While I've read about wrinkle many times I have gotten comfortable thinking...well it never happens to me! Time to wake up!

ouch.

This just confirms my paranoia in only using the PC on bumpers is well placed hehe

I am glad for you that the owner was cool about it.

That was a good learning experience for some of us that are not aware something like that can happen. If it happened to a Professional like Chad it sure can happen to most of us.Thanks for sharing this with us. I read a lo of his posts here and other sites and always learning from him.
Thanks again bro!

I think the lesson to be learned here is the power of the sun. We must not do this work in intense heat. In fact, best to not do it under the sun at all.

Over all, however, I would be willing to bet the farm that paint wrinkles and things like this hardly ever happen with a D.A., but happen often with a rotary. I am sure the rate in which it happens between a DA and a rotary is not comparable, whatsoever. Does anyone disagree with this?

That's for sure a bummer! I'm glad the client/customer was happy!

Lol, old thread! Probably good to get it bumped though.

Crazy story on this one, not only did I do another car for this owner after this ordeal, but we have become good friends and he has gotten more into detailing, even doing several jobs himself. As of last weekend, he will be helping me out on a lot of jobs from here on out! Ill try and post our first job tonight. Crazy how thing work out.

I'm not sure that it is the problem of the paint adhering to plastic as much as the heat has no where to go as the paint has a plastic backing. This is a heat issue. A PC might be safer but I'm still cautious about how much heat is being generated on bumpers.

I get so paranoid working on plastic painted bumpers, especially when there are deep defects there. The best method I have found is my black Tuf Buf wool with my dyna. The key is that I feather the trigger and do just short bursts. It is more time consuming, but this method has not failed me yet.

I didn't even know this existed until I followed about ten links to find this thread. I use a DA but still, I'm gonna take it easier now around the edges.

Thank you very much for posting this up so that we can learn from it!

Thank you for sharing, something similar happened to me recently with a DA .. I'll make a post about it shortly.
