Using incorrect terminology to describe the effects of what happens to automotive paint is misleading, especially if you do truly understand the importance. If this was a simple difference in how a word is pronounced, I'd have no problem with it. The problem is when you use your opinion as fact...
"Sleek"
There's so much misinformation in your postings, that I'm not quite sure where to start.
I suppose I'll start with Mr. Ketcham's remarks on the ability of clear-coat to hold water:
On the microscopic level, some things can penetrate into clear-coat. This is nothing new, and has...
Adam, as you already know; you are correct. I've done some looking into this topic after you emailed me asking about it. It seems there are some high-end guys in Europe that have been getting into this stuff as well.
For others, from what I can tell, no damage is done because of the extremely...
You can prep concours cars for as long as you want: the majority of swirls are caused by improper washing, not machine use.
Working on Berlina Black is tough because of how soft the clear-coat is on vehicle's like the NSX. Even if properly polished and finished down correctly, it is easy to...
Glad the owner is out enjoying his beautiful ride! I only wish I was able to see it on the road in her natural glory as well. It's beginning to get to be that time of the year in which the chances of seeing an exotic go down to near zero.
Cheers to a quick Winter and early Spring gentlemen (and...
I agree that this might be the most beautiful paint color ever, and I only wish the pics did justice to how beautiful the car truly is in person. She's truly amazing and couldn't have a better garage to sleep in: all NSX's deserve such an owner.
Awesome! Good for you to chose a high quality professional like DJ Mayo of Reflections Detailing. Truly an example of getting what you pay for, but I don't know if you can put a price on that shine!
Looks awesome!
I received this email earlier and wanted to post the info here in the event anyone wanted to join in.
Event date is May 7th
I hope some of you might be able to make it as this should be a very nice and scenic route. Cheers to Spring!
As a newbie myself, I'd highly recommend it. It really was a type of thing that now my only regret was not doing it sooner. The open days are nice as you go at your own pace - there's no pressure, and you can be just as slow as you basically want.
I'll certainly be around and I look forward to...
No worries Jeff, I haven't yet heard of anyone who has insurance that'll cover a track-day mishap / problem. I believe that's part of why there's so much emphasis on not crashing!
You should really consider taking your lovely lady to a track where you'll not only learn that much more about her...
^ not a lot of those around! This time of year is always tough as you don't get to drive your fun car, let alone see many fun cars out on the road.
:::sigh::: Here's to an early Spring.
Track grime is some hardcore stuff, and making sure to have plenty of protection on your paint is the first step to an easier removal.
Having a good couple layers of your favorite sealant or wax should surely help, and in addition you may want to look into some pre-wash prep ideas such as the...
Microfiber waffle weave towels are what you're looking for. Good ones usually cost around $15-20 bucks each, but only one or two will be needed to dry your vehicle. If cared for correctly, they'll last you a good long while (only wash with other microfiber, no fabric softener, keep clean and...
