HELP!! Cant believe it did this..Super VRT on paint

[Nicksblown71ss]

So I spent a good 6 hours yesterday correcting the paint on my '09 CTS-V. I finished off yesterday with a coat of machine super wax so that I could let it sit for a day and knock out the glaze and americana early this morning. I woke up early, went out to the garage and grabbed my "glaze" and did the entire car. After I finished I started wiping it off...only it wasnt coming off that easily. I grabbed the bottle to read the directions about wait time and thats when i realized it......I just used Super VRT on my ENTIRE car!!! S.O.B. It took a little more arm strength but I got most of it off. Still a little oily in spots. Maybe Detail Spray or a coat of actual glaze will remove it, I havent tried anything yet. Other than me being a dumbass I wanted to get your thoughts on what affects the VRT might have. Can I still glaze..should I wait...should i strip it off with multi purpose cleaner?

Since you got most of it off quickly, it shouldnt be much of an issue. I would just wash it with soap, it should take the remaining oils off.

Glaze has solvent (cleaner) in it, so honestly just apply a coat of it over the car if you were going to anyway, when you remove it, it will remove the residues from Super VRT.

I agree do a coat of BG and you will be good to go.

Have to admit, you made me giggle this morning

Come on it could have happened to anyone. Both bottles had the same amount in them, they're the same color and not to far off in consistancy. Ended up wiping car down with detail spray, then applied glaze and americana. No issues, looks great. Guarantee I'll never do that again!! Lesson learned.

Don't feel bad.  I once mistook a gallon of Detail Spray for a gallon of pink lemonade.  Poured it over ice and took several healthy swigs before realizing my mistake.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Actually - I am just trying to make you feel better.  I didn't really do that.  But I COULD have if I was a knucklehead who wasn't paying attention.)

Don't feel bad I did the same thing before , but I realized it right away . I still freaked out and felt like a dumb *** as well. It will be ok.

That's why I thought it was funny, if it had done some damage it wouldn't have been funny

Yup, I've mixed up the Total Interior Detailer and Glass Cleaner before. It all worked out.

Dumbass. 

 

 

 

Okay, admit it. You laughed. 

[Nicksblown71ss]

After 30 seconds of panic I definitely laughed at my stupidity.

I nearly made a similar mistake.  While doing my paint correction, I was moving onto the fine machine polish.  I put the white pad on my flex, put a few pea sized drops onto the pad...  then sat there and looked at it for a second.  It looked off to me for some reason.  I picked up the bottle and realized I had just put SVRT onto the pad.  Fortunately I didn't use it!

Doh!!!!!!!!

I've attempted to correct a car with leather conditioner before - took me a few minutes of going "hmmm... this polish smells like fresh leather..." before I stopped and looked at the bottle. We're all entitled to the occasional brain lock up now and then. Good thing is its not anything that could cause you major problems.
