    Re: Ugh - Correcting Paint after "Dealer Prep"

    Re: Ugh - Correcting Paint after "Dealer Prep"

    Wow! Thanks everyone for the insights!

    I think, since this will be my first detail work on this vehicle, I'm going to go with a few extra steps...foam/wash, ironx, tarx, wash again with a...
