    If you don't know how to spell something just Google how you think it's spelled.

    It will correct you like:
    Did you mean: suede

    As for the missing "y" and "o" buttons on your keyboard... can't help you with that.

    For cleaning I use windex. Don't use wax ever! I have used Pledge for protection. I like the look of it with just the windex though.

    We use Mequiar's Tech 2.0. Makes satin paint look fresh, but not shiny, and really protects it from gas spills and stuff like that.

    The only 5 star epoxy paint I am finding is an industrial paint intended for large pieces of industrial equipment in harsh environments. Is there another version aimed at automotive or boat use or is this what you are using? It may not be compatible with stuff like the product Don is using on the automotive satin paint on his cars.

    When did satin paint become traditional anyway? One of the reasons I don't come here much any more.:rolleyes:

    simple green gets the grease and bugs off
     
  15. I have used regular soap and water to clean tinted urethane primer and detailer and a micro fiber towel for quick freshen up when water not available.
    For epoxy primer ,i have used spray detailer sprayed directly on the surface and rubbed in with a micro fiber towel with good results.

    In the end you just need to make you happy and cut down on the work.
    Just buff it into nice and shiny if its already smooth,as it should of been to start with,than its EZ to keep clean,primer was only used tell it was smooth enough to put the shiny on. To me if its in work fine,but dull is not a finel finish ever.

    Lol, nothing personal. I just see some trends of the new traditional are acceptable, while others aren't. I just need to keep my head down and look at what I want to see here I guess.

    if you mix some liquid soap in with the paint when you spray it on you never have to wash it, just leave it out in the rain and it is self washing...

    You gotta be kidding me, I'm sure Everybody that had a hot rod had shiny paint.yeah ok. Most were built by younger guys on the cheap, you guys are getting ridiculous . It's almost like a classic mustang forum here any more.
    Any how ,I have had semi flat pain jobs on more than one car and the best thing that worked for me was just dish soap and water just make sure you dry it before it spots.by the way the chevy truck looks good.

    Despite the crappy beginning to this thread, I would seriously love to know an answer here.

    My 64 Belair has been garaged the entire time I have owned it and last week it was outside for a few days. Got some bird crap on it that looks like crap and cherries mixed together.

    I usually just wash my car with dish soap and a clean sponge and it takes care of it, but this time there is a ghosting effect still on the paint.

    I then tried diluted simple green and hot water and almost got if off, but there is still a tiny bit left. What's the next thing to try?

    My 64 Plymouth Belvidere Wagon was flat black. (I bought it that way) But I think that's just the nature of the beast it stains and fades and is a bitch to keep clean. I got the best results just using regular soap at the car wash. I have heard of people using a cleaner designed for o/t cars that have matte trim. Or you can try this. Good luck.
