Honestly, I wouldnt worry about the hood until you are out of HS. The problem you find (binders) is the same one I had, and that people like to touch paint, and key it... It is a battle that never ends, but slows down dramatically after HS.

BTW-- Looks great. I love that body style with silver (see gallery )

Also, I am glad to hear you found a product that YOU like. After all, that is far more important than what everyone else likes-- beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Ya I kinda think I realized why I swirled with the 80 (even by hand). It was hot yesterday, but I didn't realize it was that hot. My dad said it was about 85, and probably only like 12% humidity. Even though I had the truck in my garage, I think that it was maybe too hot.

80 is a brownish solution right? I got it from ADS in a sample bottle, I just wanna make sure.

Any tips on how to use the 80 without me swirling again?

Any tips on the hood? I hate other kids who have no respect for cars

Scratch X?


I'll try to get some more pics up today.

Depends on where you live. My HS was the complete opposite. A lot of people had nice(er) vehicles and took care of them for the most part. Even if they didn't, they respected everyone else's vehicles and property.

Maybe. I would think that it would be an issue of low humidity plus heat rather than heat alone...

I am working on it... Give me a bit of time to tinker with different methods/remedies and I will try to get something for you.

Yep. #9. It has more fillers than abrasives, thus without taking your clear down as much you can get pretty good results. I like it...
Scratch X?
Only if you get something deep IMO...

I'll try to get some more pics up today.
Sweet! Looking forward to it! See if you can get some with the whole truck...
Answer in bold.
