  1. Matte Black Carbon Bicycle - Polish or clearcoat?

    Something a little different, and I thought this group might have the most interesting insight. (Paint is paint, eh?)

    I have a Carbon Fiber bicycle that is painted a matte black. I've never been...

    Re: What happened to my motorcycle!?

    I did not have any additional marring on the car. Small bits and pieces that have accumulated over a year and a half of ownership but no, it wasn't really affected.

    That's a great point about the...

    Re: What happened to my motorcycle!?

    They roll down a line. Engine gets mated to frame, and then the fuel tank and body parts get installed. Whatever doesn't fit in the crate doesn't get installed on the bike; they know that ahead of...

    Re: What happened to my motorcycle!?

    That's possible. I spoke with the guy who assembled my bike. I explained I didn't want it to get marred up by being rubbed on incorrectly and he said he understood completely and had a few...

    Re: What happened to my motorcycle!?

    I guess that's all I can figure for now. Just very disheartening. Guess I'll get the DA out! Had the bike 15 days, it has 1,200 miles on it; definitely suck to need paint correction! Like I said,...

    Re: What happened to my motorcycle!?

    They come mostly assembled. Whatever won't "fit" in a crate is removed and made to fit. Turn signals, the front wheel, etc. It's a game of tetris. But it's mostly assembled and leaves the factory...

    Japan. And it is possible, it's not like I got an inspection light out. But I rode it home, 50 miles, from the dealer. In bright overhead sunlight. I stopped to admire it. At no point did I...

    Re: What kind of paint defect is this?

    Just keep in mind you're not just touching up for aesthetics, but to protect the paint. A touch up is better than an eventual major paint failure or even corrosion due to a lack of clearcoat or base...

    I had considered removing the front seats. I might do that!

    I think it'd be kind of cool. To have that sort of a sterile environment to do your work in!

    Re: The Most Expensive Wax You Have Bought?

    $100,000 for wax? I'd have someone strip the car down, re-paint it, add tons of layers of clearcoat, and then just cover it with a good coating.

    Then I'd sell the stupid thing and buy something...

    Re: Winter is here

    So, here's what I do. I live in a climate where it does get cold; but I bet it would work in your situation too.

    Go to the local coin-op car wash and spray it down (or use your pressure washer.)...

  17. Whadya think it would cost (or what should I pay...)

    Hey all!

    So, like all of you, I love a clean car. And I keep mine very clean; especially for a daily driver. I use all of the best products from autogeek, etc!

    My only issue, really, is...

    Okay, I'm late to the party; but I'll throw my hat in.

    I'd LOVE to write a review. A 2014 Ford Focus SE Sport, or a 2014 Ford Mustang Premium Convertible. Your choice! (Or both!) I've got a...

    Re: Perfect daily driver? ?

    My daily driver is black. I must be a masochist. The Mustang is white though.

    I've just learned to tolerate the swirls. It's nothing severe, but they do build up. Polish once a year.

    I WOULD pay attention to the swirls though. At the very least, document and notify. If you asked them not to wash it, and they damaged your car (which is what they did if they swirled it, whether...

    $27 a car for compounding and everything? I don't do it professionally. Actually, I've never done anything but my own. But that's hard work. I wouldn't even LOOK at your car for $27! LOL.

    Re: Any precautiions with Iron X?

    Take a dirty diaper and enter the contents into a bowl. Pour in a good helping of ammonia, toss in some rotten eggs, and let it sit in the sun for about a week. That's more/less what IronX smells...

    Re: Any precautiions with Iron X?

    Don't drink it.

    In all honesty, if you've never used it before; use it outside. I'm not sure if the fumes are dangerous, but they sure are unpleasant. I'd never use IronX even in an open garage...
