Maybe I'm referring to what it's doing incorrectly. The vertical panels, i.e. door panels, fenders and quarters, don't shed the water to an almost dry condition. The entire door is one sheet of...
Can I get a better coating and just top the existing coating? I know that the best practice is to remove the old to apply new, but how do you get rid of the old when matte black trim, window trim,...
Last December, I paint corrected my Ram Rebel and ceramic coated it using Avalon King's Armor Shield IX. It applied easily and made all the black plastic parts look fantastic. About three months...
A simple degreaser is all i need? Will Simple Green work? I have a gallon of that on hand. I can dilute it, and wash the truck with the diluted solution, if that works.
Thanks. I just didn't want to have to re polish the entire vehicle to remove the NXT. That's a lot of work. I was hoping I could wash the vehicle with a special wash to remove most of it, then use...
A few weeks ago, my 75 year old neighbor asked me if I could help him install running boards on his new, slightly used, GMC. After installing them for him, I decided to do a new car prep for him so...
I'm not a believer in these types of products, but this one appears to be accepted by the PDR industry. The dry ice method or the heat method have been around for years and only work on certain...
Mike, Thanks for the response. My FLEX is the LK-603VE that dates back to the late 80's. It did a fantastic job when that was all I had. At the time, I got the IROC in the background cleaned up by...
A few months back, I mentioned that I have a 2017 Mustang GT that had hard water damage. I had a local detailer wetsand the factory paint down to 1200 to remove the marks, and it didn't work. Ford...
Hey Mike, Scott here with the dark red IROC-Z you saw in Orlando. I was planning on going to MTE this year and will stop by the booth. Not guaranteed that I'll be there though. Hopefully I can get...
Ford authorized a repaint on the car. It doesn't qualify for a buyback because the car has never been in service and doesn't meet the requirements for a buyback. They also...
I have an update on the water spots. The dealer authorized a local detailer to wet sand and buff the car to remove the marks. He has the car right now and isn't happy with his results. He started...
Thanks guys. I've reached out to my local Ford dealer to see what Ford Corporate will permit for a repair. If they recommend an outside detailer to get the optimum results, I'll reach out to...
I just bought a new car on Saturday and, unfortunately, it was raining when I took delivery of the car. Sunday I washed and tried claying the car and found that the car has hard water etching all...
As a PDR person myself, this could be a yes or no situation. Some wheel openings are double walled with the inside wall being very tight to the outside. In that case, probably not doable. If there...
Go back to my earlier post that describes the look of what the pictures aren't really showing. If you were to look at the paint in person, it looked like the car was clean and drove down the road...
I finally had a chance to get back to the neighbors and try to get more pictures. The camera is so stinkin' smart, it kept trying to overcorrect what I wanted pictures of. The area in the picture...
During buffing, the pad remained "clean" with no vehicle color being transferred. The car has 3 coats of clear if I remember correctly. This car was directly under the tree and I was under the...
