What did you do detailing wise today?

[Bunky]

I learned that if you let Optimum Power Clean dry on paint it will stain the paint. I did not notice some over spray when cleaning the recessed trim in the cowling area.

I was polishing any way and Griot`s Perfecting Creme took care of it. I was using the "new" version but it was new a while back (over a year old). I never had issues with the prior version and does seem to clean a little better.

I really like the Griot`s polish - very straight forward but if you use too much it is a little harder to wipe off. I did not have time to see how much I could work it.

Might have a few problems with that approach.................

A. It was said with hydro that it won`t stick over a wax...... Wet coat being similar, it might not work.
b. These type spray coatings are meant to do one section and then blasted off, not spray down the whole car then blasted. Not sure if that`s the way you did it or not.
c. It was cured pretty much as you dried it.


You may want to ck and see if it worked on top of a wax, or if it nullified both.

Sorry

yep. Got a clean truck and learned more.
(At work now.)
Think I`m getting this. .
The soap I used had wax.
Already had a layer of wax.
Should use on a car that has been coated or prepped for a coating. Or both.
Apply & rinse one panel at a time .
Am I closer ?????

Yeah. Jsmooth told me that applying hydro to a car that had wax, made both not work, so I do it to a car that has no wax. But now since you did it, if you do it again, it should be fine?

One panel at a time, blast off, flood surrounding areas, move to next panel, repeat.

Just looked it over in sun light, feels like it took the wax off, where the dust attracted I can see streaks.
I had a layer of BF sealant that`s degraded too??

The two products may have countered acted each other. The DP POWER WASH does indeed lay down some real protection (wax). I love this wash. How did you find it? Really that`s all you needed was the PW. I have found it so good that it would negate using a drying aid. A good LSP and use of PW would really extend the looks and protection of a LSP. I was really interested in the WET COAT too, but this was not really a good test bed for it.

Think so

Sorry

I still can`t determine if any of my wetcoat affected the fuzion spray underneath

so I decided to add a second layer of souveran spray on top of the first one after the wet coat- haha

problem evaded via wasting more wax

works for me

Sounds like a gooood idea ! ( I should go pick up that bottle of wetcoat after I chucked it off the balcony ) (kidding)

and use less

2 - 3 sprays per panel unless YUGE

(see what I did there.......?)

Busy weekend trying to get some things done on my Camaro. Gave it a wash as well prior to doing either of these things.

3 coats of DP Tire Coating. I typically do 2. Trying out Dan`s (Stokdgs) favorite tire applicator (Tuf Shine) with DP Tire Coating. Seems to have worked well. Results look comparable to the carrand tire brush. Looks like I found another applicator that works just as well. Thanks Dan.



Also coated all the trim with GTechniq C4. A little easier and more forgiving than DLUX.



While I had the week off, my brother and I painted the calipers on my dad`s Impala. Went with the gold G2 caliper kit. Goes well with the champagne silver metallic color. Best brush on kit for those DIYers.

i compared those two apps a while back. i find the tuff shine is great for the smoother sidewals and the carrand for the ones with ridges on them (or like the goodyear ribbed sidewals)

i the carrand takes longer to `break in` the brush

[Migue]

I gave mine another shot and broke it in by rubbing the bristles on my concrete driveway( it`s been pressure washed, so there was no dirt/grit being transferred to the brush) a bunch of times and it made a difference.
