Truck hood comparison test, update

Intel486 · 03-02-02, 03:55

I'm currently outside working on the hood right now. I've got the flood lights out and I'm buffing away with meguiars #9. As soon as I finish I'll be apply a few coats of Klasse AIO to the entire hood.

I'm then going to wait until tomorrow. I'll rewash the whole truck cause it is raining right now (I've got the front end of my truck under my carport) and to help remove all the polish. I'll then reapply AIO to the hood. I then be applying Klasse SG to half the hood and a wax of your choice to the other side. I'll be putting on around 3 coats of Klasse SG over the next few days. Then I'll tell you what they look like after a fresh coat of the products are put on. I'll then give you an update a few days later.

To chose the wax simply vote here:

Pic of hood currently. Hard to take pictures with those darn flood lights on. Messes up the cameras light adjustment and focus. Grrr POS camera!

looks good thusfar....... is the paint on that truck a metallic? looks like some flecking in that around the light reflections.....

yhea, the paint is metallic. IT is deep wedgwood blue. Trust me. It actually looks blue in the sun

Some of the bigger spots in the second pic are splatter. Look over on the right side (drive side) and you can see little white specs. That is splatter that I didn't wipe up. The paint looks pretty good except for some of the scratches that I couldn't get out. I'm going to colorsand the hood to get the scratches out but I'm going to do that later. I'll take it into a paintshop first to see how much it'll cost to repaint the hood. Just wanna know how much damage I could cause
