    does salt damage clear coated paint?

    I just take my truck to a pressure washer bay and spray off the undercarriage in the winter after a big storm. I've been leaving the actually body of the truck(clear coated painted surfaces) dirty and not cleaning it it all. I just wait until Spring. I figure that the salt really can't...

    whats a good hand polishing kit for my black truck?

    I just need to get out some of the swirls. I am using 3M 39009 with just a microfiber towel and that actually cuts enough to get out what I need to do, but I have to work like 2 hours per panel (real time consuming). I'm looknig for a kit that comes with a pad and some swirl mark remover...

    plow scratched my truck, I need help!

    I had my truck parked in the street, and a plow truck drove by it with those long "flexible rods" that hang out to the side so he knows the limits of his plow. Anyway, on this truck the rods were hanging out horizontal(most trucks have them 45 degrees to the vertical) and proceeded to scrape...

    do salt spreaders damage paint?

    I am just wondering. When a salt spreader dump truck drives by, I try and give it as much room as possible so that the salt doesn't hit my truck. Today I was driving on a 2 lane road and a huge truck drive right by me throwing salt, sounded like a machine gun shooting at my car! Haven't...

    brand new paint job, scratched!

    Long story short, I have a 2006 F150 that got into an accident. After 16k worth of work the truck came out pristine, pretty much a new paint job except for the doors and the roof. Color match is excellent, shop did an awesome job. Anyway, I was told by the shop not to wash or wax the truck...

    clear coat damage on wheel??

    Hi all, I have a 2006 f150 FX4, it has 20" aluminum wheels that are clear coated. I noticed these "marks" on the lip of my wheel the other day, all four of them have these marks. I took a picture of the worst one. I'm the original owner, and the wheel weights have never been moved...

    Looking for detailer, Toms River NJ area....

    Hi all, I have a 2006 Ford F150 FX4, black on black. It's the best color, but black is the worst as swirls and little surface scratches. I've only had it for a few months but the dealer must have went to town on it with a buffer before they sold it to me. The paint itself is awesome and I...
