Fine work right there! FYI you can apply powerlock really thin using very little product, for me I actually find thinner coats work better, easier to buff off etc. Either way nice work, keep em coming!
Yeah that is my X.. It's an '05 with almost 90k on it. Only issue I had was a 4xd relay and servo issue that had to be worked out. Other than that been a great SUV... It also has a 2.5" lift in it and due for tires so I can go up in size now
Thanks quite happy with the outcome That is actually as thin as it wanted to go down for some reason. There where only a few spots that where tough coming up, little more elbow grease, but the rest just wiped off.
I did get some paint transfer, but I thought it was more from the touch-up paint he had on the hood. When I did my Honda last week I did not have the same transfer... Which leads me to a question I was going to ask... How do I get the paint out of the pad? Some came out when I rinsed but I can't get the rest... Is the pad no good now?
