pioneer, is this what you bought? I got a bottle of this but there are no English directions.

[pioneer]

Make sure and remove that asap.ASAP as in NOW. The Acid from the fall out will etch into your paint and cause permanent damage.

I washed it off, but the marring still there

[Aaron 2NR]

What products yall use for swirl removal???

[gastly369]

going by anand today macko some products

[nemesis]

Like everyone using Chemical Guys foam. Still like the honey dew more.. but mostly because I prefer the scent I guess.

Aaron, quite a variety of products do I use for swirl removal. Depends on how hard the paint is, level of swirling etc. Generally my favs are the Menzerna and Blackfire SRC products though...they might actually be the same thing in different bottles. However, that's because I tend to do many european vehicles. Quite often the Japanese vehicles seem to get good cut from the Griot's products which are a bit more difficult to wipe off, but work a little slower than the Menzerna/Blackfire...which is fine for softer paint, but actually do almost nothing on some Euro paints.

Saw a PCY car yesterday from the firm with orange peel

[cinco]

nuttin new there
i have seen new bmws and benzes with orange peel even
oh and btw intransit damages to panels are repaired locally so it may have been a local respray or even a factory eff up

You use it full concentration?

I tried some Meguairs carnuba wax, and one of the synthetics on my car yesterday. Half and half.
Worst sh!t ever to rub off.
which synthetic is easy to use? Wolfgang had some nice reveiws on ease of use.

[Aaron 2NR]

I know Menzerna was used on my truck already and it came out nice....spoke to Karim bout srp yesterday so may try it. I don't have swirls really..,just one or two light scratches from washing but nothing deep or covering the vehicle. Truck was detailed in December sometime...

I'm wary to do the hd wax after pioneers experience.....can't screw up my paint at all lol


Wat other good synthetic wax is there to use that's easy to wipe off???

[Rooki3]

any of those places u guys mention does stock plastidip

[trvs]

^ never saw that locally.

Hopefully I will have some free time this weekend to try out the Barrier Reef wax I got last week.
