Harley gloss black engine covers - my opinion...

Personally, if it were me, I'd continue with what you're during now. Maybe substitute a spray wax, sealant, or coating in lieu of the Harley...

Tom,

I don't think the yellow wax is a good choice in this situation. You are talking #26, right?

My reasoning... The #26 dries to a cloudy haze. Anything that dries to a cloudy haze (#26, or...

I think anything you use is going to penetrate to some extent. It's the nature of the compromised (porous) paint film remaining.

There are many products around today that were not available the...

Welcome Back!

Those look fairly minor and I think any good AIO (cleaner wax) should take care of it without issue.

Of course, you could also use a fine polish followed by your 845.

Here's my recommendation for what it's worth...

From my experience, compromised paint in the condition such as yours does not respond well to traditional methods. Especially traditional LSPs. The...

Not only not enough... It's also the wrong color!

Depends on the application and what I feel like using that day.

But here's some of my choices. All Meguiar's products.

- #3 Machine Glaze
- #7 Hand Glaze
- #21 Sealant
- #26 Yellow Wax...

I'm a little old school when this topic comes up. And while I understand that products have changed and some of today's "spray-on" products have made serious advances, I still like a product that is...

That's exactly what I'm talking about. A protectant for vinyl, rubber, plastic trim, etc. The oilier, the better. One of the products I remember trying was a thick, clear, silicone gel that was...

Looks good!

I've used Mineral Spirits in many, many applications and have never stained anything. What "sorts of things" are you referring to?

My opinion...

I understand that this is a great learning experience and so the effort you are putting in is beneficial regardless of the results you achieve. You are learning and that makes your...

Just use an AIO... It's so easy you could do it everyday if you wanted to.

You are on the right path. Either of the forums you listed will work and get you as many, and possibly even more, replies than you will know what to do with.

I'll start out by recommending that...

I watched your vids... Your DA process is greatly improved since your earlier videos where I made the "haphazard" comment.

As for the BF One Step not making much improvement, my experience with...

Another vote for the Griot's G9. Even though I don't own one so my recommendation is purely from research, I think it's the best deal going right now.

I recommended the G9 to a friend of mine in...

Yesterday I hand applied another layer of M26 on my truck using my "experimental" process described in my first post back in December of 2020. No claying, polishing, or anything else. Just a quick...

I would think rinsing with a hose prior to the actual rinseless would be sufficient. Of course that would also depend on how thorough of a rinse is performed.

If you do a thorough hose rinse...

Nice work! And like always, great photos.

This is a common misconception throughout the general public and even some in the painting industry... Baking.

The paints used in the refinish industry are not "bake" formulations. They are "air...

Very Cool!

Love the Indy Cars... Not many but that is my main interest.

Anyone who is an IndyCar fan like me should see the Unser Museum in Albuquerque, NM if you have the chance. And of...

I'd start with a clay bar...

Like Mike says... It sure isn't adding any wax and the opposite of adding is removing.

I can't speculate how much wax is being removed by your clay mitt, but I can guarantee that your wax...

If I were to ever restore a GP, a '68 would be at the top of my list for candidates. The rear end of the '68s is so cool and unique.

Actually a hybrid 67/68 would be ideal. 67 front & 68 rear.
