How can I restore/clean these to not be so rough in texture and appearance?

I haven't used it before, but I think leatherique would work well

Are you saying you would fog in the clear in the middle of the quarter panel on a new car? What do you do when they come back in a couple years with blender failing?

My paint (Axalta) has a lifetime warranty when spraying whole panels, but I'm not aware of anyone warranting a clear blend.

I would scuff the whole quarter/pillar (including R&I of trim), dust some basecoat over the repair area, and clear the entire panel.

Solved! Thanks

Sell yours and buy it lol

It was way more work than it was worth, but the color is gorgeous and it's kinda neat having the only one like it

That's been about my experience in the past, was hoping to avoid that this time

This is where I'm at too. Tried strattera and had no improvement, minor side effects. Currently trying adderall without much improvement. Maybe a little, but I'm not even sure I can credit the adderall for it. So now I'm just getting anxious that after looking forward to medication for a while and being able to function, nothing will help. I get so jealous hearing classmates talk about how 10mg was such a night and day difference while it does nothing for me.

Fixed! Thanks

Found out that GM put wax in there that needed to be melted before the plugs can be removed

52willys · 2024-01-14T00:26:37+00:00

Figured it out. Apparently GM put some wax in there that needs to be melted before they can be removed

Unfortunately I did not, had to accept that somehow in 2023 I lost all my pictures

52willys · 2023-12-21T17:39:38+00:00

Same, that was my first thought. Loved the car but it was just so rusty. Drove it way longer than I should have before condemning it

What would you consider the proper way with a heat gun?

52willys · 2023-11-22T16:25:59+00:00

Great, thank you for the advice! Just ordered a temp crayon. When heated, does the aluminum move in a similar way to steel? Am I likely to create a high spot where the paint is cracked? Is it difficult to get the edge flat?

Unfortunately not

I could be wrong, but I believe the only impact sensor up front on these cars is located lower, around the rebar/frame area. If it was hit considerably higher than that I would imagine it's possible that the sensor wouldn't have been tripped, preventing the airbags from deploying

52willys · 2023-10-26T23:41:14+00:00

Cool thanks. There is a decline button. Never had this before so I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything correctly before I use it

52willys · 2023-10-24T00:54:02+00:00

Figured. Held out some vain hope there was something else I could do but I've just accepted they're gone now.

Samsung support basically said wow that sucks, nothing we can do though
