  • Gray cars and spoted windshields ?

    Are there any special techniques or products to detail a gray SUV ? What is the best way to get out hard water spots from my windshield. These spots really drive my crazy. ( I cant get the professional line where I live )

    Re: Gray cars and spoted windshields ?

    99.9 % of all new cars have a clear coat, so the color doesn't matter, the goal is to learn how to work on clear coat paints which tend to be harder than traditional single stage paints and what that means to you is when you go out into your garage to work on your car's paint you'll find it much more difficult to remove swirls, scratches and water spots out of the paint.

    This is why the Dual Action Polisher has become so popular over the last 15 years, the machine can always outperform the hand when it comes to working on any paint system but especially for the average person working on a clear coat finish.

    But hey, the good news is clear coat paints typically last longer, don't confuse that to mean look good longer.

    There's how to article in the how to forum for working by hand or machine.

      Have you tried using the claybar on the windshield?

        Maybe you can take the Ferry and come to Santo Domingo, you can find the Pro Line here, not as many or the entire line but you can find some.

        I always order it from ADS but I'm going this week to the place where they sell Meguiar's Products,it's like the rep here (I guess they are rep) and see the prices and variety.
