Carpro Dlux 2014

[Moldavite]

Base on lots of wonderful feedback, i decided to try Carpro Dlux for my DD trim and wheel well (they look horrible )

Weather : sunny day 32°C

the full process took me 5 hours:

CG citrus wash & gloss on wheels
CG meticulous matt auto wash
carpro spotless on window
Meguiars shampoo plus
sheet & blow dry
tape trim
carpro eraser ( good stuff, smell good)
carpro dlux ( light chemical smell , bearable)
after i done with trim , i lay a second coat of sonax p&s
and BSD on wheels.

sorry for crappy picture Enjoy

Did you clean the window trim with just Eraser? I have never seen Eraser clean oxidation (or whatever it is) off old trim. My question was the blemish removed or just covered by DLux so it is hidden.

i pre clean with eraser but the stain is still there
i think the blemish is cover by Dlux

I also use OPC(1:3) to clean all trim 2 days ago when I did my decon and 1st coat Sonax p&s. I guess the blemish (a couple few spot) just can't be remove

Use Solution Finish on the scuffed areas and finish off with Dlux. Unless you can get those wheel wells super clean, I wouldn't use Dlux. Use Bare Bones or something similar.

More CarPro Dlux prep/application tips from Cee Dog [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jX01ntst0g]CarPro Dlux Plastic & Wheel Coat vs Gtech C4.mp4 - YouTube[/video].

Prep (**As usual, most important step for best results).
1) Highly acidic cleaner. Like CG WaterSpot remover w/microfiber scrubber. Rinse, dry.
2) Highly alkaline cleaner. APC with microfiber scrubber. Rinse, dry.
3) Alcohol-based cleaner. Like IPA or CarPro Eraser. Allow to evaporate/dry.

Application.
- On smooth trim, CarPro microfiber suede applicator.
- On textured trim, cosmetic cotton pad.
