Wet Paint? - Page 2

Roy Oswalt//////////// The Wiz!

Here are some pics of his car. We pretty much did only Wet Paint, although a few areas are scratchX too from Meguiars. There are still some swirls on his paint, it is an absolute pain to buff for some strange reason. I don't think it is the product, but the paint.

I am working on sizing the pictures of the whole car now, here are some before/after ones I made up.

I will have some of mine as soon as I get it repaired and get a chance to detail it up.

Considering that the car is in bad need of a machine polish I think the WP did a fantastic job. The paint went from dull to bright & reflective. The oxidation was removed also, good work and thanks for the pictures. Please do the same with your car.

Yeah it needs a machine polish.....bad swirls. I dripped sweat on it right before we did it, it wouldn't even wipe off :(.

I don't have a good quality buffer, just one of those consumer-type orbital ones. We would like to polish his car, but I don't want to screw things up. What would I need to do??

Fireball that car looks like it has had a new paint job. That looks so good. The wet paint did that? It's really amazing!!! The rims even looks shinier.

I haven't seen one of those that has enough power to get rid of swirls nor do they have the assortment of pads required. Nothing short of a Porter Cable, Cyclo, or rotary machine will remove them. You can make it look better by applying the WP several times though. It gets easier each time as it layers upon itself and helps hide the marks while deepening the gloss.

Frankly I think the transformation is pretty incredible. Your brother will be thrilled........right before they shave his head!!!!!

Yes Sir she's lookin great..what a difference WetPaintGlaze does on a car...

Yeah I can't wait to get my car fixed so I can put it on there. My paint is 10x higher quality and only 6mos old. It will look insane.

Also, that paint isn't too old....about a year and a half. But it was a $300 paint job and didn't stay nice long.

Lookin' fresh. I gotta get me some WP.

Now that I know more about the paint I would not attempt to machine polish that $300 paint job. The layer of paint will be so thin that it would likely cause more problems than it fixes. The rough surface will get smoother as more layers of WP are applied.

Gotcha.....it looks better than it did before anyway (i.e. extremely faded). I will probably put more WP on it later, gotta work on my own car.

Wet Paint on wheels.....wow

I took off one of my wheels and wet painted it. Cleaned it up real good with my engine cleaning gun and simple green first. Then I put about 4 coats on. Finished it off by putting some shine on the tire. It looks sweet, the best it has looked since I have had it. Obviously it didn't remove the chips and all but it looks GREAT for a 16 year old wheel.

Well, back out into the humidity hell to do another one. I spent an hour on this one, will probably only get one more done tonight.

so.. safe on painted gloss black wheels with polished lip?

YES! Safe on all wheels.

WOW, i am completely sold on WP now... i had never been a big enthusiast on washing my car with THAT much detail, but now that i've got something new to work with im going to try and keep it clean on a weekly basis. it's been hard to do since it's been raining or sprinkling almost daily, PLUS i work in a very dusty area (mexican border)... but let's see how powerful this stuff really is ;)

so is there a certain way that i should rub this on? circles?

joseph

if you watch the video it shows you how but you can basically spray it on, wipe it down, then use a circular motion to rub it in with a microfiber towel...

Joseph,

Where are you in TX? Mexico is just the other side of town from me. As sir_nasty said go to the website and watch the video. I suggest you apply and remove it twice in a row for best outcome.

RTexasF,

I actually work at the Pharr-Reynosa bridge (checkpoint) with Texas DPS... so it's pretty pointless for me to go and pay to have my car washed, if by Tuesday or Wednesday it's going to be even worse than when I took it in. Anyway, I stay in Edinburg and Pharr... you're in Brownsville right? Nice to know someone closeby that is so knowledgable with Honda and related products :) So where do you take yours to get any work done? Is there a local place that has good prices on mod parts? or am I basically stuck with EBAY? :P Feel free to message me or email me bro and thanks!

I must've missed the link for the video... but I'll go back and look for it.

Can you purchase Wet Paint in automotive stores or do you have to order it from the manufacturer?

Order from here: http://www.wetpaintglaze.com/ 
There are dealerships that have & use it but there is no distribution network so it's unlikely you'll find it in a store.

I'm still promoting their site because I Love their products..even on other sites that I mod on...
 
Hi Tex...
