Found you on a short, had to navigate through your videos to find the original because I somehow found this 1st lol consider making a playlist if you haven't already, great video thanks!
@@MrJustinWheeler I work on lawnmowers, and when I resell riding mowers I like to do "paint restorations" which is basically me applying turtle wax to bring the color and shine back to faded paint, and I'll armour-all the plastics to bring some life back to them. I've seen products like Owatrol, which is a marine based gel coat restoration liquid, and have considered trying it. I believe it's oil based. If you ever do another test, please consider using some products like that. I'd be very interested, and would love to find something cheap and easier to apply than a carnauba wax, that I can simply wipe onto a faded mower to make it shine again. With the wax, I have to wipe on, agitate, then buff off. It's a whole process and I'm getting tired of it lol
@@MrJustinWheeler I’m 9k in my current project and haven’t even done paint or body work yet. And the 9k isn’t even the cost of the vehicle. I’m really leaning towards this wipe on clear but I just can’t decide 😭
@@MrJustinWheeler 1997 12v Cummins. Iv got just about everything dialed except the paint. Roof is probably 30% bare metal and hood is 30% no clear with just a few spots of bare metal. Was a farm truck. Is brown. I’m either going to re spray brown with minimal body work or wet sand it and wipe on clear, what do you think?
The supplier says you can do multiple coats if necessary, after what, 24 hrs or whatever. I think that, looking at the streaks, there are places where more or less material was left behind. My guess would be at least two coats, and probably three, and then use the cut and buff to smooth out the final result. It would indeed be a miracle product if you could wipe on one coat on a large area like a hood or roof and be done. In order to do that you'd have to be more liberal with the application while avoiding runs, and then buff it out. In painting don't they always say multiple light coats? Hard to imagine it's much different with this stuff. Tempting, but I have to gear up for the longer haul if I am to do this to my 2000 Silverado. Elbow grease aplenty, methinks. Thing is, once it's 'shiny' you no longer are happy with 'better' and move straight to 'good', which is down the road a piece... :)
Appreciate the performance update on the coatings👍

Awesome follow-up 😊😢
@@gallowaylights thank you!
I love how I just stumbled on the 1st video and now this one, I’m lucky haha
@@NoblesTx thanks for watching!

@@NoblesTx I understand the situation. What kind of vehicle is it?

Nice job boss, great videos.
@@melancoholic3596 thank you sir!
I used flood penetrol and it stated to become very “gummy” and collects dust and particles. Does the ZEP stay smooth?
@@fagan327 yep. Smooth and dry.

VGG for the win
I’d drive that S10 until I die!
@@SchoolforHackers thanks buddy! I’ve got an s10 problem. Just picked up number 9 a few weeks ago. I buy as many as I can get my hands on. 😅😅
@@MrJustinWheeler 😂
Iv paid more money on less that’s for sure. I think I’m going to do this to my old dodge
The products are basically the same thing. Just with a different label.
