    Paint guys: Question about SS and TS paint

    Someone is telling me that single stage is simply nothing more than clear mixed in... "single-stage paint is a catalyzed paint with the clear built right in. Can you put a clear top coat on top of it? Sure. But I personally think it's a waste of time considering the amount of texture that...

    Pro-Tec, a new QEW?

    I went to the RV store yesterday to pick up another gallon of QEW, and while I was there, noticed something else, a 32pz bottle of something called Pro-Tec. The bottle looks just like the 32oz of QEW in size and shape. It said wash without rinsing, and I picked it up and looked at the back, it...

    Keeping Kristillar Premium from Freezing?

    I never thought about it until the other day when it was in the 20's, but since you mix it with water, is there a way to keep it from freezing? I read a post in the good deals section about using P21S WWB and mixing water, IP alc and the P21S booster to keep it from freezing. Can this be done...

    Kristallklar Premium smearing?

    On one of my last orders, I got some Kristallklar Premium. While it cleans VERY well, when I spray it and use the wipers, my windsheild is VERY smeared (not streaked, but the whole windsheild is smeared), after about 10 seconds while driving it is perfectly clean. If it is raining however, it...

    6 month old wheel wells from hell

    A friend called me about detailing his 6 month old 04 GMC Sierra 2500 HD (with the 6.6l turbo). He already has over 37k on the clock :shocked Something gave out in the rear and splattered grease everywhere, so he definately wanted the wheel wells done. I did the rest of the truck too which...

    So someone is trying to tell me that AA will

    That it will fog windows (which I could believe from outgassing) And that it will screw up paint (either from direct contact or vapor only) If you got overspray or slinging into the paint, it would not be good for it, but fisheye and rusting and eating paint? I doubt it.... Just the...
