    Re: Back to waxing/polishing?

    Maybe I'm referring to what it's doing incorrectly. The vertical panels, i.e. door panels, fenders and quarters, don't shed the water to an almost dry condition. The entire door is one sheet of...

    Re: Back to waxing/polishing?

    Can I get a better coating and just top the existing coating? I know that the best practice is to remove the old to apply new, but how do you get rid of the old when matte black trim, window trim,...

    Back to waxing/polishing?

    Last December, I paint corrected my Ram Rebel and ceramic coated it using Avalon King's Armor Shield IX. It applied easily and made all the black plastic parts look fantastic. About three months...

    He ordered Avalon King's Ceramic Coating.
  5. Re: Prepping for Ceramic Coating after NXT 2.0 Application

    A simple degreaser is all i need? Will Simple Green work? I have a gallon of that on hand. I can dilute it, and wash the truck with the diluted solution, if that works.
  6. Re: Prepping for Ceramic Coating after NXT 2.0 Application

    Thanks. I just didn't want to have to re polish the entire vehicle to remove the NXT. That's a lot of work. I was hoping I could wash the vehicle with a special wash to remove most of it, then use...
  7. Re: Prepping for Ceramic Coating after NXT 2.0 Application

    The truck already looks it's best as I did a paint correction prior to installing the NXT.

    Would Meguiar's M205 or Mother's PowerPolish Stage 1 work ok for the polish step? I have both of those.
  8. Prepping for Ceramic Coating after NXT 2.0 Application

    A few weeks ago, my 75 year old neighbor asked me if I could help him install running boards on his new, slightly used, GMC. After installing them for him, I decided to do a new car prep for him so...

    Re: Pictures from 2018 Mobile Tech Expo

    I missed the Expo this year. I was planning on going to meet up with many of my PDR buddies, but couldn't make it. Maybe next year.

    Re: Paintless dent removal

    I'm not a believer in these types of products, but this one appears to be accepted by the PDR industry. The dry ice method or the heat method have been around for years and only work on certain...

    Re: Compounding and Polishing a 2017 Mustang

    Mike, Thanks for the response. My FLEX is the LK-603VE that dates back to the late 80's. It did a fantastic job when that was all I had. At the time, I got the IROC in the background cleaned up by...

    Compounding and Polishing a 2017 Mustang

    A few months back, I mentioned that I have a 2017 Mustang GT that had hard water damage. I had a local detailer wetsand the factory paint down to 1200 to remove the marks, and it didn't work. Ford...
  13. Re: Two project cars for Mobiel Tech Expo Classes

    Hey Mike, Scott here with the dark red IROC-Z you saw in Orlando. I was planning on going to MTE this year and will stop by the booth. Not guaranteed that I'll be there though. Hopefully I can get...
  14. Re: New Mustang - Paint issues that I need help resolving in Orlando Area

    Latest update...

    Ford authorized a repaint on the car. It doesn't qualify for a buyback because the car has never been in service and doesn't meet the requirements for a buyback. They also...
  15. Re: Autogeek Crashes the Ace - Saturday, October 21st 8:00am to 10:00am

    Glad to meet you, Mike. It was good learning about a few products that I was unfamiliar with.
  16. Re: New Mustang - Paint issues that I need help resolving in Orlando Area

    I have an update on the water spots. The dealer authorized a local detailer to wet sand and buff the car to remove the marks. He has the car right now and isn't happy with his results. He started...
  17. Re: New Mustang - Paint issues that I need help resolving in Orlando Area

    Thanks guys. I've reached out to my local Ford dealer to see what Ford Corporate will permit for a repair. If they recommend an outside detailer to get the optimum results, I'll reach out to...
  18. Re: New Mustang - Paint issues that I need help resolving in Orlando Area

    Will the gel work on the entire car? The front splitter and grill even have the white residue build up from being hosed off, but never dried.

    I have a Flex rotary with the 3M wool pad that I...
  19. New Mustang - Paint issues that I need help resolving in Orlando Area

    I just bought a new car on Saturday and, unfortunately, it was raining when I took delivery of the car. Sunday I washed and tried claying the car and found that the car has hard water etching all...
  20. Re: Paintless dent repair, would this qualify? (pic)

    As a PDR person myself, this could be a yes or no situation. Some wheel openings are double walled with the inside wall being very tight to the outside. In that case, probably not doable. If there...

    Re: Paint issues after polishing

    Go back to my earlier post that describes the look of what the pictures aren't really showing. If you were to look at the paint in person, it looked like the car was clean and drove down the road...

    Re: Paint issues after polishing

    Just an update on removing the spots. We'll see if they come back again. If they do, then the owner will talk with the original painter.

    On Saturday, we decided to attack this issue. The...

    I finally had a chance to get back to the neighbors and try to get more pictures. The camera is so stinkin' smart, it kept trying to overcorrect what I wanted pictures of. The area in the picture...

    Re: Paint issues after polishing

    During buffing, the pad remained "clean" with no vehicle color being transferred. The car has 3 coats of clear if I remember correctly. This car was directly under the tree and I was under the...
