Wooh-hoo, wouldn't you and I make for one [messed]-up team?!? LOL...I'd be all stressed out about how much clear we're taking off and you'd be reaching for something more aggressive! We'd be the Laurel and Hardy of detailing

But seriously, every time I look at those panels on my M3 that're gonna need reshot I think how I shoulda quit sooner. Yeah, they still have many microns of clear over the basecoat but when the light is *just right* they don't look the way they oughta; I can tell where they're thin. Nobody else would see it (nobody *does* see it, and they're trying), and I dunno if they'll actually fail with UV exposure, but I just can't stand knowing that they look "off" under certain circumstances so I'm gonna have 'em reshot.

For that matter, I can tell where ebpcivicsi and I have really hammered my Yukon too. The ETG says things are still sorta OK, but I can tell if I really work at inspecting it.

Thinned clear that I can notice simply drives me nuts. Once things start getting well under ~100 microns, metallics often look "off" to me. That bugs me a lot more than the chance of cc failure; I never park outside much anyhow.
