Bud, this is what I know thus far. I went to one shop and the guy was an a*** h***, and didn't know and wasn't sure. The sky was overcast and you couldn't see the problem, but I explained to him. The next shop, a rather big car repair shop, you could put a 747 in there, they were much more helpful. There, they said black was a very difficult colour to deal with. They were not rby oli - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
Thanks Bud, I will do that, but I doubt anybody from the body shop would want to waist a day in court.by oli - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
I had a black g35 repainted and was not told that the paint(rear quarter panel) needed to cure before waxing. Now everytime I wash the vehicle I end up having to remove fine horizontal scratches left by microfiber wash towels. I have even gone to the extent of using a leaf blower to dry that part of the vehicle to minimize the scratches. My question is, can the paint on the repainted panel bby oli - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts
What professional product is available that is less expensive and does the same job? I'm definitely interested. I've used AW on a black G35 and it really makes the paint pop. Just spray it on after you've rinsed the vehicle and wipe dry and it really is gives the vehicle that just waxed look and has good durability. A gallon cost 26.85 plus $5 for shipping.by oli - Auto Detailing: Secrets of the Experts

<HTML>What do I do about this? I have a black G35 that had a portion of the vehicle repainted. This is the only part of the vehicle that is super sensitive, I mean super, super sensitive to scratching. If I go and dust the vehicle a day after it was washed, that area that was repainted develops a tremendous amount of surface scratches, whereas the unrepainted remains scratch free.

<HTML>Thanks, Anthony, for me, I do have a good grip on the buffer, but that's because I am working on vertical surfaces.

<HTML>Once the "skin" temperature exceeds 115 F, (there are some that say 100F, but that is to create a safety factor) the clear is "thermal stressed".
