SHR & FMP hiding defects

[LQ9SS]

Yesterday I finally got around to polishing the truck, I was really impressed with the results and how well the polishes worked. My question is, do the oils in these products hide some of the defects? I am almost scared to do a IPA wipedown and to find out that they do and then be unhappy with the results.

 

Thanks!

just be very careful not to induce swirls doing the wipedown itself..

Similar process to what was done on my TBSS LED tail lights... lots of clear and lots of polishing. Aside from gap between them there was no way to tell where the body panel stopped and the tail light started:

What process did you use for your lights? Both paint and polish?

 

Thanks bro!

 

I had them professionally tinted, but he used a candy black and then standard automotive clear. I polished them no different than the paint on the car.

 

If you have a PC I would use IT to relieve my fear of burning through your clear and into the tint or the light itself. The PC is gentler.

Thought about that. I used the VHT Night Shades and some rattle can clear coat. Should I use my Flex or should I do it by hand?

 

Thanks.

You probably could polish those lights up if you wanted to, like Adam shows when he does headlights.

Like I said on another thread that had a black truck, when black is corrected right, the word sexy sums it up.

Here's a little teaser. I still want to do one more coat of Americana and then I will post some presentable pictures. Also, just ignore the dull finished taillights. I am going to have my buddy who works at a body shop clear them hopefully this week.

Buttery wax has a little too.

 

Adams prides themselves on making the paint right... Not just look right.

 

Fillers degrade quickly and leave you with thrashed paint shortly down the road.

The oils in SHR and FMP are carriers, not designed to hide anything, but they could (in theory) make it harder to see defects in some cases. If in doubt do the IPA wipe down and see what you get.

I wanna see pics!

BG has fillers, not SHR or FMP! Let us know after wipe down!

The oils are just that... They are NOT fillers... Like Bill said.... Wipe her down.

 

If you corrected it right, there will be no defects left unless to bad to correct.
