    Could also be a reaction with something the dealer applied if they "detailed" it before you bought it.
  2. egott_91
    Yup. Then seal them with a sealant afterwards.

    As others stated, spray it on, let it sit for a minute, then wipe with either a block sponge or old towel to level it out. That's on smooth plastic. If it's textured, I usually don't have a problem with runs.

    That's usually with new paint from a body shop. The cars from the factory are usually baked so that they're cured already.

    It's the snowcat hellcat! Nice.
  6. egott_91
    Nice. The only problem I have with the Hellcats is the wheels. Dodge definitely missed the mark. They could've done much better.

    Aaaaah, Patriot! Enjoy it! Don't rush through it. A little goes a long way. I've used mine probably a total of 5 times and it still looks like I never touched it! It's silky smooth! After taking your time to caress and love the car with it, pull it out into the sun, stand back, proceed to drool.

    Strip wash. Add a few ounces of APC to your soap bucket and proceed with your normal wash technique.

    Like mentioned, it's single stage paint. Easy to correct, but makes me nervous as hell to do. Especially when I don't know how many coats of paint are on it (I don't have an overly proved paint gauge for reassurance)

    Man! I want Soap Soap!!!!!

    Welcome fellow Hoosier

    Super concentrated windshield washer fluid and glass sealant.

    I think the only interior product that I wouldn't use around the stitching would be Leather and Interior Conditioner. I noticed it darkened the grey stitching on my seats (no big deal), but I wouldn't want white to get discolored.

    Pearl white does really well with hiding imperfections. My family had a diamond tri-coat Escalade and it was hard to see the swirls/scratches in it and it got taken through automatic Mike Car Washes semi-regularly. It's easier to see swirls on my Sebring Silver Metallic Camaro than it was on the Escalade.

    I use them for metal polishing and glass sealing. They can be used for applying just about any product though.

    Holy crap! I thought it had a matte paint job on it... Nice save!

    Also remember that the rule of thumb is usually to wait 60-90 days before sealing or glazing fresh paint from the body shop.

    Nice! I think the only thing I would change on the car is the orange side reflectors. Maybe black them out to match the theme? Or go with red so that they don't stick out at all.

    I like the Regal GS, ATS, XTS, CTS, especially the V's. The clearcoat, from my experience, on GM vehicles is pretty hard.
  20. egott_91
    Looks good OP. White is difficult to polish because it's hard to see the imperfections, but it's nice because it also hides a lot of the imperfections you miss, unlike black. What machine did you use? I bet if the side skirts were body color, you'd never notice.

    I have 2 large clear totes for all of my towels and my merino wash pads and 1 smaller clear tote for my wash pads. Pretty inexpensive from Walmart or Home Depot or lowes and stackable. Plus, they hold more than the drawer style.

    Only concern with dawn is drying out the trim. Just need to apply SVRT after a strip wash with dawn and you're good.
  23. egott_91
    There's no additional pressure needed. The pressure of the machine is plenty. I like to put the sealant on the pad and then spread it out by dabbing the panel before even turning the machine on. Then once it's dabbed across the panel I'll turn the machine on and then work in a snake like pattern horizontally and then vertically just to make sure a spot isn't missed.
  24. egott_91
    Speed 3 on the PC, no pressure. You're just using the machine to spread a thin, even layer.

    I think the issue with Meg's and Mother's is that what you can buy at the chain stores is their everyday consumer product, not the professional lines they have. Unless they have started selling those in the chain stores as well. IDK, I haven't looked for detailing products in the chain stores for a few years now.
