X-Kote on a 64 Impala

one question I have is, you say the surface needs to be already shiny , and be clearcoated.. But you show us an old orange single stage Chevy, that is brought back to such an incredible state, that not only does it look totally rejuvinated, but it almost looks like a clear coat has been added. .IF this stuff molecularly bonds to the existing clear, then how can it possibly work over that weather beaten old orange single stage finish?

I could be wrong but the reason being is the prep work they did to it was most likely a pretty aggressive pad polish combo, and seen how this product apperently fills in swirl marks and holograms permanantly you don't have to have much experience polishing, or even have to final polish due to the bonding capabilities.





That would be my guess to why dealers are the ones that were offered this product first, they know most holograms are found at dealerships.



Once again I'm no Angela landsbury but that makes sence to me.

Single stage back in the day had the gloss built into the paint so once the oxidization is roughly polished off you expose a surface that the X-Kote can bond too again. If you try to X-Kote right over oxidization the X-Kote will suck down into it and it will look hazy and streaky.

It won't do anything for clear coat failure unfortunately. BTW X-Kote will have a booth again at SEMA this year. You can purchase a trial X-Kote system package at SEMA for $159 US
