Hello all,
Haven't posted in a while. Still detailing but moved to PT and got a corporate job, bought a house, yada yada yada.
Long story short I had an accident in my SRT Challenger (metallic black) and it was recently repaired and given back to me. They had to paint the entire passenger side and blend into the hood/roof/trunk..they did a pretty stellar job btw.
They advised I cannot wax or seal the vehicle for about another 30 days for the paint to degass.
So I purchased 3m hand glaze from ACC on their recommendation and also some Spray and Wipe as it says it has no silicone as well.
I used the 3m hand glaze and it is very difficult to use compared to say PB Black Hole....
Can I just use black hole? It seems it may have fillers that I dont want/need on the fresh paint.
The only other option is Megs #7 glaze but that is as fussy as the 3m hand glaze. Thats all I have and I dont really intend on buying anything else unless its OTC b/c I cannot make a small ACC order
.
Suggestions?
For maintenance I am using Spray and Wipe or Nanoskin Glide QD dilution, I also have ONR and Wolfs Mean Green if I need to rinseless in the meantime, which I'm assuming are ok to use as well.
Also, with just the hand glaze I understand it is not really providing protection...so if it rains on my car, am suppose I am risking etching much quicker than normal. Of course I have to drive this thing now that I finally got it back after 3 plus months in the body shop.
And they left the paint quite swirled, can I use Menz 4500 and 1500 on the fresh paint with my duetto or should I wait considering I cannot seal/coat in the hard work anyways.
I have never dealt with fresh paint.
Thanks in advance
