  • It IS my paint, not my methods or the products

    A while ago I made a post that I hated my paint because it always seemed to have severe clouding after I was done waxing and polishing it, particularly the hood. I tried everything I knew plus several suggestions that people on the board gave me but nothing seemed to work.

    Anyhow, as a favor to my inlaws I detailed their 2010 Ford Edge after they got back from a long trip to remove all the bug juice and other crud that had accumulated. The car is a dark strawberry metallic (deep red) and since it's new, after claying, I only used Color-X for my cleaner, then NXT-2. Not a trace of clouding. So I thought l would see if I could get the paint to cloud on me so I used GC+ as a topper. Not a sign of clouding. Then I used some NXT-1 Spray Booster Wax, no dice. Going for broke, I topped it again with Collinite 845 Insulator wax (a very oily liquid/paste). Still no clouds.

    I can only assume that Suzuki paint is designed to cause a reaction in a detailer followed by

    It must be a relief to know that this wasn't an operator error or what is referred to in some computer circles as a PICNIC problem ("Problem in chair, not in computer").

    Glad to know your efforts in behalf of the in-laws turned out well.

      Maybe Suzuki uses soft clear coat

        Interesting results. One would tend to believe it has to be your Suzuki paint.
