Unfortunately it needed some love after having been maintained (the term is used loosely) through the local car wash. Its really mind boggling how much damage can get...
The climate where I live certainly doesn't necessitate any 'anti-freezing' capabilities... so for me, the liquid is literally just used to wash the window on the go.... so for that I use ONR at...
Thanks Bill. I suspect he was using something like one of those aggressive sponges typically used in the kitchen, to scrub off dried on bird droppings or similar. The paint was also...
I actually had a long chat with the owner beforehand around how important proper maintenance post detail is, and he has invested heavily in tools and products, and I have been teaching him how to...

This daily driver had some work done on the passenger side rear 1/4 panel and unfortunately the panel beater left the whole car full of buffer trails. The paint was also heavily contaminated and so...
Thanks - I wouldn't say that the paint was very hard...sort of medium hard, if there is such a thing... as you can see though from some of the before shots, the paint was really hammered in some...
Maybe I have completely misunderstood how coatings work, but if it is indeed pretty much like the lotus effect on some plants (picture tiny little spikes with gaps in between), then surely adding a...
The problem is it is impossible for someone to look at swirls and know how deep they are, and therefore how much paint would need to be removed to remove all the swirls. Also, your expectations for...
I'd imagine somewhere around the 20 minute mark.... in those temps you should be able to apply to the whole car and once done, it should be ready to come off.
Typically I would do all the compounding over the whole vehicle, then come back and do all the polishing. This just seems more efficient as you only have to clean up any potential 'mess' from your...
