[emoji33][emoji15] Oh man, that`s a bitter pill!
No chance the 22ple fine clay would get it off after waiting a bit for the CQ cure?

Ran across this yesterday, guessing this wont change an further.
It`s become very light and somewhat brittle/squishable. Kinda like those white ?styrofoam? packing peanuts with a very thin (like Merangue maybe?) outer shell.

I finally found something from Dawn that actually works:

This Powerwash stuff knocks down Glasur really well when you agitate it in, which is surprising because fresh Glasur laughs strip wash soaps off the paint like they`re nothing, and even Duplicolor Grease & Wax Remover.
I detailed out my 30" Toro lawnmower..... you gotta keep the skills current!
Hello Autopians...it’s been a while.
My first chance to do some upkeep detailing, at my new digs. Where the parking stalls have better lighting.
Old stall lighting.

So after a wash I’m doing a quick
Exfoliation with waxation,
during a long weekend relaxation. B)
Broke from the PA that I have on my Malibu, to
use some favorites.
Dodo Prime I have not machine applied before, and even with my modified Ryobi, it worked great.

Worked to remove all the crunchy feeling of the paint.
(so well that after this pic. the bottle slid off the hood)

The wax was a color charged, Vic’s Red. Love it. Thinking it gave more depth ??

Feels great to do something detail related....Made me wish for a real battery operated polisher, like a Flex.

Been working on a 2020 Range Rover Velar for the last few days.
The client stated it had been on the dealer lot since November 2019.
He said it has some kind of "fallout from sprinklers" at the dealer lot.
Whatever it was it was not sprinklers! It was some kind of hard funk!
It was all over the paint This vehicle has been inch by inch to correct.

No pictures.
But I spent the past Labor Day weekend polishing the wife`s new Black Pearl VW GLI. This was a "Lemon Law" replacement, so I got them to do the basic PPI but I did all the "unwrapping". That worked out for me since the paint was as good as I could hope for.
Used CarPro Essence with my Rupes 15es and a Yellow Finishing Pad. The gloss and pearl pop was very nice.
The coating of choice was CarPro CQUK 3.0 (2-Layers) and then I followed up with 1-Layer of CarPro CQ TiO2.
So 3 full layers of coating.
I was able to let the car sit outside in the sun and in the garage overnight.
The next day after another full day of curing and not driving it I followed up with Reload.
this was only in for a basic clean yesterday and it was great to be able to do one of my dream carshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6f5c8a6af2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6c7c9b8140.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b0f1c6af6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...777e16f641.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...445795e56b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ae7833354c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1b56d55a9f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a8d396f073.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5d76201079.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6016d5c0dc.jpg

Intense THANKSGIVING morning wash/detail on the truck. Peace and quiet after a rough 3 days at work. 4 off now. It is now MILLER TIME!!
Moved my chemicals to the heated portion of the garage. It`s on it`s way. 20`s during the night next week.
I pulled everything last week. Temps keep going up and down, but it`s close enough.
I always think about how nice it is to do a full running water wash with the pressure washer out once to twice a week in the summer when the cars don`t really need it, but how rough it is to get a rinseless wash in the winter every couple weeks when you should be washing every couple days. Sigh........
