A Breakthrough in Automotive Paint Restoration
Troubleshooting
Issue: Too Much Product on Panel
- Cause: Over-applying clear coat to the applicator.
- Solution:
- Use a clean applicator, misted lightly with Slow Moe, without adding any more clear coat.
- Work the applicator over the area to absorb excess clear coat from the panel.
Issue: Product Separation (Contamination)
- Symptoms: Appears like sponge texture or noodle-like lines.
- Solution:
- Remove the product with lacquer thinner.
- Clean the area with a panel prep solution, followed by denatured alcohol.
- Reapply the clear coat.
Issue: Extreme Panel Temperature
- Symptoms: Product does not self-level, leading to waves, ripples, or small bubbles.
- Solution:
- Remove the product using lacquer thinner.
- Move to a shaded area, allowing the panel to cool.
- Clean with panel prep solution, then denatured alcohol.
- Reapply clear coat.
(Tip: Use a spray bottle to mist denatured alcohol on the panel to cool it by 20° to 30° before applying clear coat.)
Issue: Contamination on Cured Clear Coat
- Contaminants: Pollen, dust, etc.
- Solution:
- If the panel is dry, use a spray wax or waterless wash with a microfiber cloth to remove contaminants.
- For fully cured clear coat (5-7 days), lightly buff or sand and spot apply clear coat as needed.
