    Jaguar back for re coat

    Long time client who insists on the free dealership washes! He knows that just pisses me off! But he says, I’ll just bring it back when it’s scratched again!

    At the Griot’s advanced class today, we had a discussion about the importance of decontamination in the paint correction process. So, if you want clean paint to start with, are the above considered contamination? My opinion is yes. They inhibit your initial attempt at correction. You must...
