    Nothing wrong with thinking outside the box and trying stuff.

    I forgot about the Quix clearcoat pen. That would work on a smaller burn through.

    Things are progressing

    Fishroes- Hey, that`s all good news

    What`re you gonna use on the fresh clear? FWIW I`d use OCW, and my experiences with it on fresh paint were so good that I`m still using it as a standalone on my wife`s A8.

    Re: Oops!!

    Accumulator, I’m shocked that you didn’t recommend FK1000
    It will be Jescar Powerlock or FK It would probably be FK hands down if it wasn’t for the trim staining
    Both are pretty close in longevity but Powerlock is much easier to apply (with gg6)
    Ive never tried opt car wax (I hate acronyms) I need to use some of what I have up before spending more money

    Heh heh, oh, but I DO! OK, OK...if you like PowerLock because the trim, go for it

    BUT I wouldn`t use either until after the paint finishes outgassing (always at least 90 days IME, even when "baked"). For the first three-four months I`d use the OCW so the new clear attains max potential hardness.

    I always *LOVED LOVED LOVED* M05 New Car Glaze (and did OK with 3m Imperial Hand Glaze too), but the OCW is better, and testing by Ford proved it OK for fresh repaints ("post-production paintwork" they called it).

    Easy for me to spend your money, but I`d hate for you to end up with stupid-soft clear just because you used the wrong wax too soon.

    EDIT: I spelled out the 3M IHG since you hate acronyms

    Re: Oops!!

    I did not ask the body shop this time but the last time they did paint work for me they said I could put anything I want on it after 30 days
    It will be close to 60 days because I want to wait until the garage is finished so I can do my annual detail in there

    The framer can’t start until after 4 July
    Thanks for the spelling

    My painters are usually very good...but they just don`t always know from this particular topic, maybe yours is the same. I`ve shown my painter the official literature from his paint manufacturer that said "wait at least.." and he was all "huh, whaddya know.."

    I`ve had numerous cases of first-hand experience with how long it can take to fully harden up, and oh boy can it take a long time! If you can still smell the new paint on a hot day, then I`d absolutely wait, and/but OK...I guess only Yours Truly waits months even when I can`t smell it.

    Well, I won`t wish any delays upon you, hope they stick to the schedule. But 60 is better than 30 IMO.


    Thanks for the spelling
    Heh heh, you`re welcome I`ve gotten pretty bad about all the acronyms, looking for shortcuts what with all the posting (AKA "wasting of bandwidth" ) I seem to do.

    Oh boy, that`s hard to say. They`re different, at least looks-wise (I vastly prefer OCW on paint/D156 on trim, but that`s just me). Funny how I like the OCW better, even on silver...would`ve expected it to go the opposite way on that car.

    I have zero idea whether the D156 is fresh-paint safe. I didn`t believe it about the OCW until Ford said it was OK (color me paranoid).

    And yeah, I use the OCW on things like lenses where UV concerns me. Don`t know if it`s better than other stuff in that regard, but eh...I already have it so it`s an easy decision for me. Whether *you* oughta buy some, well...there I go spending your money again.
