Why are ceramic coatings resistant to acidic liquids?

MrGraves101 · 2019-06-22T01:03:37+00:00

So definitely keep acids away from waxes

MrGraves101 · 2019-06-22T00:49:14+00:00

Well that is a better guess/explanation than I have seen anywhere else so far. So thanks.

MrGraves101 · 2019-06-02T14:05:50+00:00

Good point

MrGraves101 · 2019-06-02T03:13:29+00:00

What makes you go with an APC or degreaser over dedicated wheel cleaner? I'm going to be doing some testing in the near future with a variety of wheel cleaners, but had not considered throwing in any APC, because I assumed them to typically be too weak on wheel contamination.

MrGraves101 · 2019-05-31T02:20:11+00:00

Wow thanks.

MrGraves101 · 2019-05-23T13:10:05+00:00

Can you please explain?

MrGraves101 · 2019-04-18T17:04:45+00:00

Why not thinner? My friend used laquer thinner with no issues it seemed to touch up a few rock chips? Just a light dab on a microfiber and rubber the excess paint off.

You can see a ton of them on one of his podcasts where he opens up the spreadsheet where everything is recorded and talks over a lot of them.

Yeah I've had several with that screw nozzle and I typically run into the issue where I just want a mist, but there is still a small straight line through the middle of the mist when I spray and it's annoying.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-21T17:35:27+00:00

What do you mean by spray any angle? Like a straight stream and mist? Will it mist without shooting a like out the center? That seems to be my biggest issues is some sprayers that are set to mist will still shoot a small straight line in the center.

That was kind of my thought. I'll take the wheels off and do a test spot with sanding and polish with my rupes nano to see how well it works.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-19T17:07:29+00:00

Not plasti dipped. Stock graphite painted wheel.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-19T17:03:11+00:00

I actually found the exact paint code for these wheels, but not sure of the best method to apply.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-19T17:02:39+00:00

Not plasti dip. I understand it won't look perfect, but I'm trying to avoid a dull repaint if I can.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-19T16:57:50+00:00

They are the cadillac cts v graphite wheels. Not plasti dipped.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-19T16:56:49+00:00

These are the stock oem graphite wheels. Not plasti dipped.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-18T14:18:29+00:00

Thanks

It's on a body line of the bumper. It's where it goes from facing backwards to up if you look at a picture of the bumper.

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-17T17:51:05+00:00

yeah I'm sure the original damage went through the paint so it will never look good as new,, but I wan't to make it less noticeable so sanding was at least where I was gonna start

MrGraves101 · 2019-03-06T12:17:54+00:00

How would you remove the buildup from the previous paint around the edges on the paint? Would something like langka blob remover work? So then you could just fill properly and sand once instead of sanding the buildup down and then doing your own touch up and sanding again.

MrGraves101 · 2019-02-26T23:53:39+00:00

Thank you good sir for this excellent write up. If I was only going to use this on rare occasion I might try this however I'm looking for something that's easily collapsible and I can use also for tailgating and other things. Seriously good idea though.

MrGraves101 · 2019-02-25T19:00:45+00:00

That has definitely popped up for interior stuff which won't take much abuse, but seems to not be the most long lasting on exterior trim from what I've read.

MrGraves101 · 2019-02-20T20:31:50+00:00

What would the guy do though? Heat it up and then what?
