Also...

Evaluate your customer

Make sure you want to work for them, there are some people you cannot please.

One question to wonder is what are their expectations and by this we mean how are they going to take care of your hard work?

Somehow the paint became ugly, swirls and scratches, a dull hazy look; if they're going to treat the car in the same way that resulted in how the car looks now, then you're work inst' going to last very long.

Some people just don't understand that clear coat paints are scratch-sensitive and that they need to careful in every way they touch the paint or they pay someone to touch the paint. (car washing and wiping down with a a quick detailer and wiping cloths)

Take this into consideration.

Hope the paint is easy to work on and make look great!

As the dealer told me,because they applying the shield also,they scratched the shield,they parked the car under the trees for days and pure a lot of 'hard' water without wipe it in purpose just to show to the customers how hard it is...But they swirled the paint too.The 'bad' thing is that i would not polish the paint under the bra that i guess is swirled too...I will try to do my best for them and i will also try to let me maintain their cars, or at least i will try to make them to follow my directions...
If they don't they will have to pay again for correction

Re: opportunite of my life- with pictures

Good point. It's possible the clear bra on the Lambo is from another manufacturer so while M80 worked great for me do the test spot like mike suggested.


As far as LSP I think you will be fine with any wax. I LOVE the NXT 2.0 though.

The clear bra it is a 'MASTER SHIELD INTERNATIONAL ' bra if that say something to you...
As for the LSP i have been told that it is better to avoid carnauba wax and go with a synthetic one

Never even heard of it...3M is widely used in my area and I was told by the installer to just use whatever wax I use on the paint. There was no mention of Synthetic vs. carnauba.

Re: opportunite of my life- with pictures

No mention on their site about which wax to use so I think you are safe either way.

What if I go through a car wash, or have the car waxed?
You can do anything to the material that you normally do to a car's finish. Frequent washing and waxing will only prolong and enhance the beauty of the product. Yes, the material will accept wax and polishes just as the paint does and will last longer with regular applications.

Re: opportunite of my life- with pictures

That means i am going to detail the uncovered paint and the clear bra...

Clear bra plastic is very soft and flexible for obvious reasons, because it is soft and flexible it doesn't tend to abrade will with the end-results looking good.

You might want to wash the car and only apply a wax to the clear bra.

Don't think you should try using a DA Polisher on it with an abrasive product. If you decide to try, then FIRST do a TEST SPOT and cross your fingers it looks good when you're done.

If you find it's completely swirled and scratched up take a picture of it before you work on it and let the dealership know that it cannot be safely polished clear and it would be better to replace it or tell the future owner to either replace it on their dime or learn to live with it.

Just as important as knowing what you can do is knowing what you cannot do and then being upfront with the man paying the bill.

Re: opportunite of my life- with pictures

I worked on my clear bra with DC1 and the DA and it works great. I also added a layer of NXT on it and the paint so the clear won't stand out as much if it didn't have wax and the paint did.

There you go...

That's why we always type this and share it on the forum... besides testing...

"You don't know what you can do until you try"

Again, pampos... just be sure to test whatever product you're thinking about using before going over the entire bra.

Better to be careful...
