I have also switched to a clay alternative towel. Going from hearing the contaminants making noise against the towel to no more noise and being completely smooth tells me it is working. I still have some clay bars for very tight spots or what not, but definitely not for the majority of a car.

Liquid Paint Sealant on my wife's 2013 Honda CR-V

Hello and welcome! Your name sounds really familiar...I used to be an Air Force recruiter in Flint from 2008-2012.

Those wheels/tires look way too small for those wheel wells.

Sheesh! Sad to see...that is an expensive rusted out vacuum. Out of curiosity, is there any harm in using the blower feature of a shop vac to do the same thing a metro blaster does? Currently I use an electric yard work blower, but the shop vac probably would be more precise and not some cumbersome.

Try clay bar.

Welcome to the forum Chris!

Look into the 3M Stripe Off Wheel if the above doesn't work.

Harbor Freight sells pads. Are they the best in the world? No, but they will work in a bind.

Thank you to all who have served and those still serving! You all rock! Here are a couple pictures of me...one from 2005 and one taken earlier this year. Man I'm starting to look old! haha

You rock Eric! Thank you again.

I'll take them!

I made an actual pad washer similar to the grit guard one sold for quite a bit of money. There is a how to I found on a forum and it works very well.

I believe the liquid paint sealant and renewal with h20gg will be enough, but if you want to take the extra step and add a coat of wax that will be fine also. The biggest thing with bug guts is taking care of them in a timely manner. The longer they sit and harden, the more difficult they will be to remove.

Dan and Robert, I received the stickers today. Thank you very much!
