I bought a '93 prelude that im absolutely in love with but my only issue with the paint (besides the obvious swirl marks and shallow clear coat scratches which im gonna take care of easily) is that its pretty rife with dirt nibs in some spots. Would you say on average that a tool like this is safe to use on a 30 year old car? I don't want to risk denibbing and compound/polishing too much incase of stripping the clear coat. But from what i can see, the previous owner wasnt one for polishing much anyway so i dont think the clear coats been worn down that much, in recent years anyway. I was also planning on going with a sharper denibber like the ceramic one from ultimate blade to affect my paintwork as little as possible.
awesome, would never have thought of one of those. Would this work well with stubborn hard tree sap? Excellent little tool that would be a big help with heavily contaminated cars.
Great short and sweet but full of interesting info. Great tool as well and will definitely get one of them. On 2 occasions I used a blunt shaving blade, but this looks safer. Thanks James
@@detailingyoda1652 Agree 100%. What i did though was the Yvan Lacroix method whereby the blade is first used on a scrap piece of glass to ensure rounding the edges, then sprayed some ONR or detail spray. Kept it at an angle of less than 10 degrees and shaved off the contaminant. To be honest both times I was shit scared but worked great. However for more piece of mind and safety, I will definitely get one of those tools. Thanks again
I've hd one for 3 years and its superb! Must buy! So handy!
Amazing aren't they!

Works brilliantly on tree sap

Blades can be very effective but can cause damage especially if the edges aren't knocked off & not used wet

i thought you meant the 3M denib little machine and attachments. Did not even know this little tool existed! 🤯
That is made for cutting trash out of clear, then you wet sand and buff.
I own of them and love them
Looks like you had wrong side up.
a tutter 🤮
