My TA with FinshKareUSA.com products *56K dont bother

Great write up! Glad it worked for you :up



You think this would remove bonded contaminates like sap and bird poo stains?



I worked on a car that had baked on pine tree sap on the hood that would not budge.



Think that acid would "burn" it off?



What about your hands? :shocked What kind of protection did you use?
 
TriPinTaZ- Nice f-body, good write-up, and thanks for posting about the FinishKare stuff. I use AutoInt's version ("ABC") of the decontamination system (and yeah, I clay during the acidic step too), but I plan to try the FinishKare stuff next time since its acids are supposed to be safer for glass, etc.



You folks who haven't tried the decontamination stuff really oughta give it a try. Works a *lot* better than just claying and no, infrequent use doesn't hurt anything. Heh heh, and we worry about *Dawn* hurting stuff :o



I'll add to what TriPinTaZ posted about using these systems, since I've used the ABC on a few vehicles, including ones that I was *NOT* gonna screw up no matter what:



Hirosh- Ferrous deposits (little bits of iron/steel) can get on/into the paint in all sorts of ways, not just from railroad rail dust. Brake rotors come to mind. After a while, these contaminants start to rust. Clay doesn't get it all out of the paint so it comes back. Acids eat the rust away so it's really gone.



groebuck- Gloves are a good idea with this stuff, but it's not as harsh as it sounds (the ABC is supposed to be much worse than the FinishKare, and I was surprised at how mild it seemed).



Spilchy- The first ("base") step would remove that stuff, no need for the acid.
 
TriPinTaZ - nice pictures. i like that blue pearl. :)



Accumulator - thanks for the info. it's good to know in the event something like this happens to my car.
 
I couldnt have said it better myself :)



I didnt realize how dirty/contaiminated my paint was until after I used the FK1 system. Any my paint was only 6 months old !!!

This stuff is amazing. Claying does not compair and the acid step isnt as harsh it you think. I did it barehanded and i was fine, i kept washing my hands tho. The acid is a mixture of Phosphoric and Sulfuric acid. These 2 are highly corrosive to metal......but not clear coat. This is why this step works like it does :)





Thanks for the compliments, stay tuned because thursday Im going to finish it off with the other sealant and pink wax.:D
 
TriPinTaZ - 2 months later? Where are the pictures and did the other steps make a big difference?



I may use mine tomorrow but will skip #2 - have no need for it.
