    Re: Help With Black Paint Final Polish

    I took the car to Dodge to have the quarter panel re-sprayed. Still not a perfect match, but at least it's black, not brown. Can only tell the difference when shining a bright light on it in a dark...

    Re: Help detailer trashed my paint!

    Seems like something always comes up. I've been at this for 2 months. If I could have a do-over I'd go with a Rupes or Griot's Boss DA rather than a cheap TorqX. I way underestimated the amount of...

    Re: Help detailer trashed my paint!

    Did you have any luck?

    Nothing I ordered was able to finish off the re-sprayed panel correctly. I just ordered Griot's Perfecting Cream and their yellow pad so I'm hoping that might work better.

    Re: Help detailer trashed my paint!

    Yep, it's a Scat Pack. I love it.

    I've got the same little dots all over the lower front bumper. I figured it was just from debris on the road and am not worried about it too much. Not enough to...

    Re: Help detailer trashed my paint!

    Micro marring on Dodge paint was also driving me crazy. In my case a 2016 black Challenger.

    I managed to get it out of the factory paint using this combination after cutting with a Meg's MF pad...

    Re: Surface Prep For Paint Coating - How Perfect?

    Thanks, Mike! Funny since I ordered a few of the Gyeon Bald towels with the Carpro suede towels this week. Hoping to get this done finally this weekend!

    Next question, do I wash the suede towels...

    Re: Surface Prep For Paint Coating - How Perfect?

    Great info, thanks so much. I'll be trying suede towels, working in small areas and blowing the dust away. Don't have a Master Blaster but an air compressor should do the job.

    No, I didn't think of that, but I see the CarPro MF suede towels in the store. I think I'll try it out. As the coating is applied with a small suede cloth makes sense to wipe it before and after with...

    Surface Prep For Paint Coating - How Perfect?

    I'm working on my final polish before applying Gyeon Mohs coating to a black Dodge Challenger.

    No matter what I do, however, there's always a little dust and lint left on the paint after I wipe it...

    Have to wrap up this thread for now. Car is back from the body shop and the color match is atrocious. Looks more brown than black where they sprayed when compared to the factory finish. The paint job...

    Yup. I'm making a sign for the dash too, but you know how that goes. Hopefully they listen.

    UPDATE: The car is going to the body shop on Tuesday, but I've been testing some final polish combinations.

    The best result so far is using Menzerna 3500, 3 small drops (no priming), a tangerine...

    Well, this project is on hold for a while. Something flew off a truck and dented/chipped up my right fender and hood this afternoon. :(

    Re: Gyeon Mohs and Vinyl Stripes/Wraps

    Hmm... something to think about.

    I will definitely try the Gyeon matte coating on the stripes.

    So maybe something in this order: Finish Polish - Vinyl Tail Stripes - Gyeon Mohs - Hood Wrap -...

    Re: Gyeon Mohs and Vinyl Stripes/Wraps

    Thanks for the replies! Vinyl first seems logical.

    I was not aware of Gyeon's matte products so that's good to know.

    Is there any issue, however, with putting vinyl wrap over a coating? I will...

    That's a-lotta paint to cover indeed! I wonder if the same micro marring results would appear on a metallic. I'd imagine the clear coat is the same being a Dodge, but perhaps the metallic paint would...

    Good to get confirmation on Dodge soft black paint. I've seen it described as hard, medium and soft in various places online.

    Is the M205 the same product as Ultimate Polish?
