I'll say it again. Paint has zero protective properties. It's all in the clear coat. It's also a big reason I don't like cutting the clear coat to remove swirls. It's the only barrier your paint has from everything it comes into contact with. You want it to be as thick as possible.

And I'm not saying that clear won't eventually be deteriorated by something caustic, but for the short haul, it's supposed to protect the paint.

GET THE FUCK OUTTA here. something that eats paint, WILL EAT clear coat

Paint has zero protective properties. It's all in the clear coat. That's why manufacturers have all their patended clear coats. Self healing clears, diamond coat clears, etc, etc.

Stuff CAN ruin the clear, but just because it ruins paint doesn't mean it will ruin the clear. But sure, keep on babbling :kiss:

Call bullshit all you want. My paint isn't peeling off my rim or fender, even after washing the car.

Guys admit to using paint thinner and gasoline, without issue.

Still gonna argue?

gasoline, paint thinner, and brake cleaner without bleach sounds like what you're describing. I do believe the clear has more protective qualities than paint (probably just harder and thicker) but I've seen it burn through too, like Justin said.

I'd love to sit there and watch you eat a stack of pancakes tied to a lawn chair while you watch me pour a bottle on your hood...then watch the sweat break out on your forehead(skin).

I got a dialogue going with Rockyboy...but holy hell, that guy does NOT break character...I don't think he was getting my underlying joke about having zero confidence and relying on your car for hos.

taco, no rock chips... the picture shows an outline of a drip that leaked all the way down the caliper.

Brake fluid took the clear and paint right off!


IT ALSO SAYS IN THE SERVICE MANUAL, when doing brakes...."IF YOU GET BRAKE FLUID ON CUSTOMERS CAR, WASH RIGHT AWAY.

I also have thoiboi blocked. And have for a very long time. Much longer than Maj. And I can't even remember why. LOL

Edit: Poly thread I bet.
