Was afraid to hear answers like this. I won't be letting this dealer touch the car again (long story, but they're incompetent). I could demand they pay a trusted shop to fix it, but not sure how well...
I need some help identifying and treating this defect. An incompetent dealership repainted the front end of this vehicle leaving textured speckles on the hood and bumper.
I have the megs on a 24/7 outdoor daily going on 9 months. Still beads water like day 1 and I've been lazy with regular washes. Twice I've topped it with the megs ceramic spray (the spray on rinse...
I grabbed 4 kits for 20 each at Ollies. There were still another 8-10 kits on the shelf. If you "sign up" at Ollies, they give you a 15% off coupon next time you come in. That would mean 17 per kit....
This is a bummer, I really enjoyed using this product. It was so easy to apply and there was zero fiddling with high spots. Mines still going strong at 8 months and the cars outside 24/7.
What if you have not induced any major marring? Are folks still grabbing one of these finer polishes to clean things up or would a 'paint cleanser' be more appropriate?
I'd think you could substitute an eagle 500 for any of the other eagles - 350, 450, 600. I chose the 450's b/c they were the same price but come in a 6 pack vs. a 4 pack. No clue if the extra 50 gsm...
I have fallen for the concept of having different towels for different purposes, but I wonder if my entire arsenal could be simplified by just using a bunch of edgeless 365s for everything and PFMs...
I'm not sure if Honda and Acura use the same paints, but my black Acura's paint seemed extremely soft when I polished it. Insanely scratch sensitive. Hopefully someone with more experience can chime...
Since I polished this car I've managed to catch overcast days which works. This last wash was early AM, but sun hits the driveway quickly. I tried keeping everything...
My driveway gets no shade in the Texas heat and I'm finding myself battling stubborn water spots. :mad: My water is hard at 200ppm. The car is a black RDX which sits outside 24/7 and typically goes...
I'd been meaning to post a follow up to this thread, but life got busy. The project is done and was overall a success. I basically paint corrected the whole car with Menzerna 3800 and those B&S red...
Thanks for the clarification. Sounding like I jumped into the deep end with this vehicle but may now be headed toward the right track. I'll try pairing the 3800 with this red pad and report back!
...
I agree with this concept. I hate throwing money at an issue unless I'm fairly certain it will result in a solution. I have not yet tried reducing the pressure, a light mist with water, or my griots...
Could have 2 different issues since the paint is so soft. I think my towel game is sorted out. I'd be applying Jescar power lock after this is all done since I have some left over from another car. ...
