They usually do videos of most of the cars they do. But they were interested on how oxidation got in some places that it did. Im pretty sure they will do a video. It will be nice to not have to use wax for 3-5 years. Just detail spray or a 50/50 mix of detail spray and alcohol.

That's that's what the detailer told me to do to prevent further damage until I get the car into them

Yeah I need a good Detailer here in Wa. I just washed My Minion this morning and the hood, roof and trunk lid are looking Mighty Dull. The side look ok, they shine after just a washing. I either need a Good Detailer or a New Paint jod.

Good detailer would be your best bet to see what they could do.

Everyone I asked said my car would need to be repainted then in found these guys they did a test spot in the oxidation and it came out.


Try to find a detailer that will apply ceramic pro to all painted surfaces. That is the glass coating that my car will have on it when I take it in. It has 100% UV protection.
