[QUOTE="KrisMas, post: 659643, member: 14200"] errrmm....let me see now....ever heard of marketing through 'scare tactics'? So that you would go for their products and shy away from the rests? First of all, if any defects occurred after a repaint, the blame should go to the painter for not properly doing their job. Anything else from them are just plain stupid excuses. If anything, automotive paint manufacturers have all kind of solvent, silicon remover, etc. of different grades and strengths for cleaning the surface BEFORE painting. They should (MUST) use it before shooting a new coat. Furthermore, the surface MUST be sanded down before re-spraying....I think that is basic. So anything you put on top of the clear coat should have already been removed altogether. With any 'coating' (I meant those long-term durable ones), just be careful and ask for details on their warranty/guarantee, maintenance package, and what you should (or shouldn't) do so as not to void it. Also please note that all these modern-day coatings are just another sacrificial layer of protection you put on the clear coat. No matter how 'permanent' or 'hard' the manufacturers claims it to be, some can be harder than the clear coat and some are softer so they can still get marred, scratches, swirls, etched, waterspots, etc. Having a coating on your car is much the same as having a HEALTHY wax/sealant on, you'd still need to properly maintain it (wash, etc.). Just my 2 sen's worth. Regards. [/QUOTE]
