Thanks. When I did the car originally, it was terrible - I did a 3 stage correction. It’s not bad now but defo some marks. Do you think I need to be worried about another polish on the top coast...

Thanks very much. I guess I was worried about polishing and risking either damaging or only partly removing the CSL but it sounds like it won’t still be there anyway!

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

Hi folks,

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

I’d really appreciate some advice!

I did CSL on a full fat RR 2/3 years ago, followed by two coats of EXO V2.

Obvs it’s been a while and...

I should've done more before pics, it was very rough. The dealership just used heaps of filler, so I hadn't spotted it when I bought it. I really didn't expect it to come up so well, which is why I...

Finally.... finished (except for glass, which is next week)!

Very pleased - the paint was not good at all and someone at the dealership had done a TERRIBLE job of some bad cheap smart repairs and...

Thank you - that certainly helps my planning for today :D

That looks great! Thank you - I'll probably do the same. Just as a guide, I don't suppose you recall how many towels you got through in total? Was it 3 per panel? How long did that take you to do CSL...

Getting there... ready for application of CSL + 2xEXO tomorrow :props:

Some pics attached of the issues when I bought the car and now. I'm pleased!

Thanks...

I don’t dry it - I use a water filter, so no spotting when naturally drying. Maybe I’ll give it a gentle blow but that’s it :dblthumb2:

OK, thanks! I was really just thinking of avoiding it ahead of coating but I guess the paint is clean and a mitt would help remove dust…:xyxthumbs:

Just don’t want to risk introducing any scratching. I generally avoid using unless I have to but just after correcting and polishing, probably best to avoid?

Yeah, thanks! I actually use bilt hamber auto foam :-)

I don’t want to use a mitt now until after CSL but I’ll foam and rinse and panel wipe like you say to get rid of dust! I’ll post some pics...

Yeah, we’ll…… to be honest, I didn’t know how much work the correction was going to be and I didn’t know it would turn out really looking quite good. Plus, I thought deep gloss sealant was good but I...

I normally snow foam and rinse. If I have to ‘wash’, I use gtechniq G-wash and filtered water, so naturally dry.
that good? I guess I’ll add gtechniq quick detailer in future and probably too the...

Thanks - I’m going to do CSL and EXO. Do you reckon I’ll get two coats of exo on a Range Rover out of 50ml?
how long would you leave EXO between coats?

much appreciated!

Thanks - I'm defo doing CSL and EXO - as much as I like playing with the car, I have two kids and I don't have the time :-)

Actually that is a bit of an issue... I have some CarPro Eraser but I've read that I really need GTechniq Panel wipe as that is designed to completely strip the panel where eraser isn't. I REALLY...

Thanks. Think I’m going to do CSL with EXO over the top!

OK, thanks. I just need to grow a pair the :-)

Will it be an issue that a) the paint isn’t perfect and b) I’ve not removed badges etc

Hi Folks,

I'm just finishing 2 stages on a car that wasn't great but is now looking pretty good :-)

I'm planning to finish with Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant BUT I'm wondering a few things...

Thanks… I think the problem is that my test spot didn’t tell me anything because of the fillers in the product. Not all in one next time perhaps….

I’m extremely grateful for you all taking time to help, thank you!

I think next time I may steer away from the all in one and instead do a 3 stage process with cut, polish and then finish.

Does...

Thanks folks, I appreciate it very much!

Reassuring to know that's to be expected with wool... I think it was worse on the nearside but I probably did apply more pressure there cos that's where my...

Thanks Texchappy - it does look great... and I'm very happy.

The thing is I'm trying to learn and if I did a friend's car or family member, I would hate for me to finish an then problems become...
