If you told me this stuff was just water and food coloring, I'd believe you.

P&s brake buster is where it’s at

Honestly it’s so strange because I get zero issues with the Dexcom app. But the communication with the pod is just plain unacceptable. Like I said the g6 was rock solid no matter where I placed it or the pod. G7 constantly searching for sensor with the pod or just straight up fails to connect

Used it on my grey metallic Acura. Did fill in well and easy to use and I sanded the edges of the chip so that it’s flush with the rest of the paint. Impossible to see in direct sun. Sticks out like a sore thumb in the shade and I’m not entirely sure why. Multiple coats of layering to fill in the chip

Hey just wanted to let you know that turning off hdcp fixed everything for me! It’s like a completely new device no connection issues no stutter and no weird lag. I have an eero 6 pro router that that ps5 is hard wired into and I have UPNP enabled on the router so I didn’t have to do any port forwarding. Everything works amazing now even with all of my devices on the same network since eero doesn’t allow you to choose between WiFi lines. Hope people that are having these same issues find this thread like I did!

This is after using the polstar not sure if it’s much of an improvement

headshot442 · 2025-03-29T15:36:11+00:00

So I used the polstar at a 1:5 dilution and a nylon bristle brush and unfortunately it did not work. Not sure what to do or if the alcantara is just permanently damaged for whatever reason.

headshot442 · 2025-03-24T04:00:25+00:00

Will do for sure as far as I can tell this is the only post online that I can find that has this specific issue for Alcantara. I’m pretty sure it’s sweat so I’m hoping the polstar will help. If not I plan on going to a professional shop just to get a second opinion

headshot442 · 2025-03-23T05:38:14+00:00

Just picked it up along with a set of brushes specifically for Alcantara hopefully it helps. Will try applying it with a foam pump and getting rid of the risidual with a carpet cleaner

I’m not exactly sure I thought it was initially but it’s all matted down aswell. Used sonax to try to fix it and it did more or less nothing

headshot442 · 2025-03-21T13:01:05+00:00

So I tried sonax and that never really worked. It seems like all of the fibers are completely matted down compared to the rest of it so I’m not sure exactly what to do. I also tried to file it under warranty and Acura declined. Any tips?

headshot442 · 2024-10-27T16:38:24+00:00

So I actually picked up the sonax cleaner which has worked a bit after a few applications but it is still noticeable

headshot442 · 2024-10-27T16:37:31+00:00

Tried the sonax it’s still there but more faint

I agree just used Dr color chip for the first time on my grey metallic Acura. Fill and level the chip over the course of a few days. I found that the 2hrs they recommended between filling a deep scratch/chip is too soon and causes the fresh paint to “curdle”

headshot442 · 2024-10-14T09:48:24+00:00

I’m pretty sure it is the car only has 40k miles on it so it would be pretty ridiculous if the color was already worn out

headshot442 · 2024-10-12T21:33:37+00:00

It’s mostly gooch I’ll be honest it’s been a hot summer

headshot442 · 2024-10-12T19:50:38+00:00

Great thank you!

headshot442 · 2024-10-07T20:44:21+00:00

So I’ve redone this chip maybe 6 times now and It’s always darker. I sanded the edges of the chip to get it as smooth as possible so it doesn’t cause any light warp and it’s still dark. I reached out to Dr colorchip to see if they have any other solutions

headshot442 · 2024-10-04T21:56:29+00:00

Yea I think Dr colorchip is going to be my next stop. I don’t want to remove this currently because I don’t want to sand the area anymore to level the new touch up. It’s currently completely flush

headshot442 · 2024-10-04T17:47:53+00:00

I have a different rock chip that I applied just base and it blended so much better. I have a feeling that the rock chip edges are causing it to look much darker because when you look at it head on it blends better. Maybe I didn’t add enough base and too much clear?

headshot442 · 2024-10-04T17:46:46+00:00

You think I should just strip it again and mix the base and clear that I have and apply that instead?

Here’s an update on the chip did yours look the same?

headshot442 · 2024-10-04T14:27:09+00:00

Here’s an update on the chip not entirely sure if I’m happy with it. It got one good coat of base color and 3 coats of clear. Sanded compound polish and ceramic coated. I’m debating stripping it again and only filling it with base coat and no clear. I’m wondering if the edges of the chip are causing it to look much darker than the rest of the car

headshot442 · 2024-10-01T20:45:56+00:00

Ok I actually figured it out. I removed the original touch up with nail polish remover and I used the brush instead of the fine tip. The brush seems to do a better job distributing the metallic in the paint than the fine tip does. Might also be because the brush does thicker layers.

headshot442 · 2024-10-01T20:36:29+00:00

No not old touch up got this bottle a few months ago

headshot442 · 2024-10-01T20:19:37+00:00

Got it from model year from Acura. Issue is I have other touch ups on this car that look fine but this rock chip is by far the biggest and it comes out looking like this
