i've already got collonite to use so i dont think ill be needing other 105 etc, unless its something different?

im more still looking for an APC + all purpose dressing, somethiing like megs hyperdressing which can be used everywhere (engine bay/ wheel wells etc), does eshine have anything like that, that you guys know of?

105 is along the lines of a sealant. You could top it with the collinite. That would be some durable protection !!

hmm, that intrigues me as well....maybe ill just throw it in the order anyways on that note then haha

aznives3

ok, looks like the civic is gunna be the first to be detailed actually....one thing to ask for this car though

i've got the front end 3m'd, is this something that we can touch? just claybar and throw the collonite on it or does it need/can it take some polishing as well?

What about seibon carbon hood/trunk? anything special i should take into consideration for those pieces for polishing/protecting?

^Make sure you protect the carbon fiber pieces, cause they WILL yellow if exposed to UV for extended periods.

can't really polish the clear bra, but the CF should b clearcoated, and therefor safe to polish

That's what I had suspected, but it's ok to claybar and lsp the clear bra correct?

I also posted on DB about me having troubles spotting paint defects on my hondas (atomic blue and suzuka blue)
And I was wondering what type of lighting to use. I can really only see swirls under the sun.

I'm definately gettng the 1000w halogens, but would a fenix or the dorcy 200+ lumen flashlights come in handy for these colors?

Jonanator

Yes, it is ok to claybar the clear bra. Not sure about LSP though. I am pretty sure it is ok, but i haven't tried though. There is also a special 3M cleaner you can buy to help clean it and prevent yellowing.

MuttGrunt

i believe most people put their LSP on the clear bra as well. shop-lamps should help you see swirls much better, but metallics as a whole hide defects very well (blessing and a curse)
