But seriously.. yeah, unless somebody is getting a finish as close to flawless as the paint can stand (and that's under demanding lighting, not fluorescents and probably not under just halogens either) then it'd be a complete waste of money. And I can't help but wonder about using it on customers; vehicles- will they pay for a difference that they almost certainly won't appreciate? (Yeah, an expert, looking at paint they're familiar with, would appreciate the difference, but those folks are few and far between.) |
AHHHHHHH HAAAAAAA ....
My friend is in fine form!!!!!! Accumulator buddy!!!! Here is where I stand with the case of the original paint...as well as addressing the rift about prep work being essential.
First of all, I believe Ron stated it. You will need to have the prep right for your paint, because the EGZymols, especially the
white carnauba compounds will amplify your paint issues...more so than many of the other lsp's that I've had experience with. You do not want to put the zymol on heavy swirls or poorly prepped paint in hopes that it will cover the mistakes. An EGZ will not do this for you. The EGZ carnaubas are less forgiving and will not hide moderate issues. Just as many of their higher level waxes can bring out hidden paint rendering qualities, they can also show up some of your inherent paint limitations, including missed swirl lines etc.
Now, in contradicting this last statement, and to my friend Accumulator. In the spirit of keeping everything original, I would not recommend doing anything that would risk ruining your paint condition, especially if you feel that the paint would not tolerate an abrasive preparation. However, you should definitely do your best to prep the paint with the most appropriate means, such as with hand polishing and with zymol's cleaner and filler product. With a optimally prepped paint surface, you can still enjoy the talents of an EGZ, just as long as you know your paint limitations (we
ALL have our limitations, even though we don't like admitting them!)
Now....see Accumulator...I told you that you couldn't get rid of me that easily!!
Heh heh!!!! Lol!!!!!!!!!
