Ive been battling with my paint for quite sometime now.

Ive got SSM and its got some fading spots on the side panels that look like running water down the sides, and just a lot of faintly glossy areas, i guess its UV wear or something....
I use meguiars gold class liquid wax and the paint looks good for about 3 days, then the spots start to come back....... WTF?
now, two weeks later, you cant even tell i waxed?
MOFO!!!! i spent all morning on that sht...lol........


now what?

is there some type of sealent/something i should be using?

Waxes and/or sealants only protect the underlying paints condition. It sounds like you need to polish.....Polishing will bring the paint back alive, then seal it up...

FS Body Shop or Optimum polishes. See this thread for a deal you can't pass up. As for a sealant, FS UPP or Optimum OptiSeal.

if you are limiting your self to OTC products, megs three step system, or scratch X would work alright. If you are that serious though, i'll suggest hitting up lowes and picking up a Porter Cable 7336

damm....it very well may be worth it....

do i need a machine to throuroughly apply these types of products?

If not i guess i should have someone take care of it for me for about a hunderd bucks or so...


thanks for the input
