I can't believe it...restored 20 yr old damaged clear coat.(56K BEWARE)

[InFrnt0fU]

AMAZING.....HOLY CRAP....WOW.... These were probably the only words that were coming out of my mouth at about 5pm on Saturday when I was finishing the final step of the most amazing car detailing product I've ever come across.

It took me about 6 hours of not so hard labor to 90% restore my FACTORY paint job back to looking like NEW! The body parts of the car that had the most oxidation damage (HEAVY OXIDATION DAMAGE and LOTS of scratches in the clear) were the front and rear bumper, hood, targa, and spoiler...pretty much all the pieces that are parallel to the ground and get hit with direct sunlight the most.

On to the pictures, which honestly don't come close to doing this product justice, really have to see it in person and WATCH it work as I was able to do.

The Name of the product is Simix Supreme Shield. You can find it and buy it here only http://www.simixsolutions.com

It is a 2 Step process using Surface Restorer and when satisfied with the finish, you apply the Non-Wax Clear Coat.

Here's my explanation of the steps I took.

Step 1: Wash the car with HOT water and a clean sponge to remove particulate soils. Used a large warehouse fan to dry quickly.

Step 2: Used cheap terry cloth towels folded into squares and applied with firm pressure in side to side and up and down motions. The product hazes up like wax would. I left it on from anywhere to 10-30 minutes. With hose and clean sponge in hand, wiped and sprayed the car and washed the Surface Restorer off. (This step was done between 5-10 times depending on the severity of the clear coats damage on certain body parts...that I mentioned before). Do this step until you are satisfied with the finish.

Step 3: With the car completely dry. Apply the Non-Wax Clear Coat to a MICROFIBER CLOTH (it says this in bold on the bottle) and wipe onto the car AS FAST AS POSSIBLE and IMMEDIATELY spray off with water. The faster the better, so applying this strategically, as to not wet un-applied areas.

I applied both step 1 and 2 products to the painted surfaces, plastic trim, windows, and lighting assemblies.

I'm sure there are tonnes of guys out there who would love to bring back their faded factory paint jobs. I hope this little write-up will help you guys out.

If anybody has any questions, feel free to post them and I'll answer every question to the best of my ability.

You should try a full Zaino claybar experience on it

I did that but found that just a few weeks later it had re-oxidized and back to looking like crap, I am resigned to the fact that I need a new paint job or wear myself out doing similar to what you did every couple weeks

Did you use Simix or Zaino product?

The damage on the hood, targa, and tops of front fenders goes too deep...into the paint unfortunately. I'm happy as hell that is restored it as far as it did. I'll check into these claybars though, if they can help eliminate more CC scratches, I'm all for giving it a try.

Thx Doward

That turned out real nice. How long has it been holding up? After I read up on these clay bars, I'm sure I'll end up getting one and working on the spots that still need some work.

FYI, my car looked much, much worse than that red one. No gloss or shine was showing anywhere.

:sarcasm: but the red one looks better.:sarcasm:
