Is it illegal for dealers to repaint damaged sections on a new car and not disclosing to the purchaser? As my wife's Taurus has begun aging, we've noticed that the left rear door is a few shades lighter than the rest of the car. :|

I got a bottle of SG in today and I was wondering about it's sealing properties. Since it's amost entirely acrylic, would it be possible to top another sealant, say EX-P with a layer of SG to seal in the salad oil look of EX-P so it would last longer?

or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the AIO As you may remember from my previous thread, I'm looking for a nice combo on my 2000 Saab 9-5 with a Frost Grey metallic paint. I'd decided to try VM and AIO as bases and EX-P and S100 as toppers. I covered the left half of the hood with...

What's the consistancy of VM supposed to be? I figured it would be a cream type product, but I just got my shipment in, and it resembles milk. Is this normal?

I've been reading the Perfect Shine article on BetterCareCare. In that article, the author (David) describes his perfect detail job where he starts with AIO and tops with Pinnacle Souveran. What do other people do for their perfect shine? I was thinking about trying AIO with a sealant topper...

From my searches, I've seen that a lot of people are using it and swear by it. However, by the site's reviews, it seems to be merely an average product. It doesn't seem to be a good polish and it's not quite a wax. What is everyone using it for? Why do people like it so much?

Since I was taking pictures for the touch-up paint thread, I figured I'd snap some others for the heck of it. This was my first experience with Wolfgang products. I bought some since I figure I may never get my Blackfire back from my friend. Picture of the front right (wife's Taurus is...

Last week, my 2000 SAAB 9-5 (frost grey) was struck on the highway by a rock which appeared to come from a dumptruck. The rock left a nice mark about 1/4 inch long on my hood, down to the primer. Since I'd otherwise have to repaint the entire hood, I decided to try my best at touching the...

I just got my Blackfire polish and sealant today and am a little curious why there is a difference in their instruction (and the way I was taught) and the instructions in the Autopia e-book. Every polish, wax, or even rubbing compound (polish) I've purchased tells you to apply in small...

On the hood of my car, there are some small chips, likely from road pebbles or such. They haven't hurt the paint, but have just made indentions in the clearcoat. What kind of product should I use to work on these? Will a non-abrasive polish fill them in effectively, or should I consider...

Malm's Site I'm looking for a wax and polish for my 2000 SAAB 9-5 (frost blue). My Dad swears by Malm's on his red Boxster S. Does anyone have any experience with Malm's? Is it any good? I didn't see it in the reviews, and I didn't get any hits on the search.
