I reached out 3 days ago with an issue with an order. Haven't heard anything back. I have been buying from these guys for 15+ years. Things sure are not what they use to be. If I do not hear...

Hey everyone!

I recently purchased a 2011 Z06/ Z07 with 7000 miles. This car has a clear bra over the entire front bumper, headlights, foglights, hood, front fenders as well as a partial clear...

Ill try a pressure washer first. I will update this thread after I figure out what works.

I will report back after I try it. Worst case scenario I buff them and re apply opticoat...in which case I would have had to clay anyway.

I might be able to pull off clay only on the red...

Is it going to mar the surface?

My GTO and Civic were both opticoated over a year ago and are still beading water nicely. I accidentally got some VHT wrinkle paint overspray on the upper portion of the cars. Is there an easy way...

It was hard to even capture all the damage in photo's. In person you could really see the extent of the road rash. Up close you can tell something is up with the surface but you have to be very...

I used dr colorchip on my 99 civic SI today. 172XXX miles had really taken their toll on the paint. I applied it to all of the front bumper, lip, entire hood, both mirrors, some spots on the roof,...

Some slight holograming in direct sunlight. Considering I never used a buffer before I am very pleased. I still have a blue pad and PO85RD to go but at this point I am not going to do anything else...

Would 2500 grit be fine enough to put this over? I want to try this on the camry headlights but do not have any 3000 grit.

Thank you guys for reading it.

It is a 2004 GTO 6 speed with red interior. I bought it new off the showroom in october 2004. It currently has about 56000 miles and has never been drove in snow. ...

Washed the car. Then cleaned off all rubber trim and the random compound everywhere. Then conditioned rubber trim. Then washed again and quick detailed with pinnacle crystal mist. IDK what the...

Buffing done (I hope), tape off, grills on. Now for hours and hours of cleaning compound out of crevices. Then wash, inspect, and plan next move. I still have like 4 weeks before I can seal the...

Switched from the white pad back to the orange pad with the PO83. Got this stage finished and cleaned off the car and pulled it into sunlight. Found a few spots I missed and decided that I needed...

Went out this morning and attempted some buffing. Prior to about a week ago I had never used a buffer and until yesterday had never used foam pads on a buffer. I have used a pc since 2005 but the...

Got the rest of the car compounded today. Polished out the bumper and areas around it with p083q and a orange pad. Got the bumper assembled and on the car. After 4 weeks the bumper is reunited...

Made some good progress today. Powerglossed the hood. Found out that the curved transition at the back needed more sanding. Sanded it. Buffed it again. Found some dirt knots. Sanded them. ...
