cuz scratches are all over my car
i noticed some hairline scratches too, but i dunno whether or not they came from the water blade...I use to use a CA water blade, but have lately noticed some small hair line scratches that I think were caused by it, so it's temporarily retired.
I just did a Google search to find a place. Don't remember exactly where I got it.big bad jon said:

btw, does anyone know a good place to get the p21s? thanks.
I'm sure someone will disagree with me, but no color gives a deeper, glossier, more "liquid look" than black when it is clean and polished.BMWintoxication said:"it looks the cleanest when it's clean and the dirtiest when it's dirty"
Not gonna hear me disagree. If you checkout the "hood shot" thread in the showroom, you can see the reflection of my ceiling in the hood of the car. If it weren't for the vents being in the picture, you'd swear it was just a pic of my ceiling!.Gravedgr. said:

We have a friend of the family who used to show his '55 Chevy sedan (took 1st place national more than once). It was painted with 7 coats of tuxedo black laquer, and then 5 coat of clear. The paint job alone was $15,000, but you would swear you were looking in a mirror - you could lean over the hood and spot food caught in your teeth.
carbon black will be about the same, maybe a little easier. white always the easiest..Gravedgr. said:Have you guys had any experience with the metallic paints? I'm wondering if the Carbon Black Metallic will be HARDER or EASIER to maintain than the glossy Jet Black. After hearing testimonials and reading the Zaino Bros. site, I'm impressed enough to go with their full like of products I think.
Not a big fan of water blades. I just let the water sheet off and use a chamois after I have washed it and re wet the entire car.makonto said:what it looks like ???
Cali Water Blade and a P21S Drying Towel
HOSTYL said:Black shows all clear coat scratches. I have a million of them. Thats just the price you pay for getting black. My car is garaged so I dont wash it as much as some of you guys. Hell, I only wash it if it gets rained on and there are water spots. I just use the California duster and then Mothers Showtime to clean it up. Oh yeah and Meguires Quik Detail cuz I'm sponsored by them :eeps:
Black really looks good though during overcast or when its all wet and shiny. Still my #1 color of choice for cars.
