"wet Paint" where should I order this stuff?

[Slick61]

The previous owner of my Backdraft swore by "Wet Paint", & said he hadn't used anything else on it. When I bought the car, he gave me almost a full bottle of it which, admittedly, I just haven't gotten around to using because I have some paint correction work to do before I get back to applying a LSP (last step product). It doesn't seem to have adversely affected the paint tho... still get compliments all the time.

Of course not; my cobra's valed at $100k

All I said is use it if you want, it's not going to disintegrate your clearcoat, but it isn't (atleast from the description and how often I've seen iton sites like autopia) anywhere near the best thing out there.

is the Wet Paint good or bad? use it and let us know. we all need a good test subject.

Biting my lip.....

Using Wet Paint is no different than using a detailer spray like Meguiar's or Mother's. I bet if we posted a poll, 80%+ of Cobra Replica owners would respond that they regularly use a some sort of detailer spray.

Use it. You probably run a better chance of hitting your car with your lawnmower or something off the wall like that and ruining your paint long before this stuff will ruin it.

I just don't understand what is so secretive about the stuff that the manufacturer can't tell you some of it's properties. The MSDS says it has petroleum in it. Like I said...probably similar to Liquid Glass.

Just my 2¢ worth. when I had my Cobra I used it from 1996 to 2007 when I sold it and never had any problems with it at all. I use it and other waxes on the 69 Cobra and can't tell much difference in the shine. As for the swirls, if you want a perfect finish then I would have to take mine to a detailer. If you look close out in the sun on the 69, which is red, you can see some of them. But I could also see them on my other car which I only used McGuires on.

Of course, swirls, RIDs, and other micro-marring is caused by abrassion against the clearcoat, almost always when washing/drying/detailing (e.g., quick detailer) the vehicle improperly.....it has nothing to do with product selection (e.g., using Meguiars over something else)

I do use the clay-bar on one of my cars and it has the same imperfections in it that the others had. But you have to look close to see them on any of the cars. I am not interested in a perfect finish since I don't show my cars but drive them and 99% of the people that look at them never see the swirls and other small imperfections. Just a couple of painters who asked me what I use and when I told them they said that was a good job for a driven car and me just waxing them and not spending days detailing them. Also there is no way to hide the rock picks and most people seem to prefer that a car be driven to a perfect trailer queen around this area and the shows up North.

Well, you could always blocksand and re-paint your car every year; that's one way to hide rock chips

Clay bars won't remove any imperfections such as RIDs, scratches, swirls, etc... - infact, chances are they'll actually induce a few because, unless you're kneeding the clay every square inch, you'll induce a bit of marring here and there, it's inevitable (but fine, because you always follow with a polish after a clay anyways) ... all clay does is remove surface contamination, so when you're polishing you're not grinding it down into the paint/pads

Lots of polishes have petroleum distillates in them... primarily the "cleaner" waxes. Helps with tar removal, sap, bird bombs, etc. -another step-saving measure.

Well let's leave at this... other than the usual 60K mile patina, TO ME my paint looks as good as it did the day it came back from the painter and certainly nowhere near the first pic. You have higher paint standards than I. Congratulations.

Why are you trolling here with no info posted about yourself? Are you the same annoying EFNFAST from the family channel?

That's a much mroe accurate statement, and, when you get down to it, all that really matters.

CC bores me and moves too slowly. I spend my time on the "other" site

Cobra Dan,
I hope you were "jesting" with your comments! I know you are an opinionated guy, but thats quite a comment!

And painting straight over Meguires OR any product that contains Silicone is pure BS!!!!!!!!! Makes you really wonder about his other statements!
By all means give him my e-mail, my home number, my cell number. I will be more than glad to listen to him prove what he has said!

I will gladly arrange for a three-way phone call with Jim Peffers - PHD Chemistry. The BS has got to stop! If there product is fine, then fine but don't cloud the issue with half truths and full lies!

I will use A 'wet shine' product if they can prove to me it is not harmfull to paint after years of service. OR, tell me how many coats I can put on before it should be removed and re-done.

OK, this thread can go its own way but facts and truth are just that!
Opinions....well ???

Yes Ed I’m a very opinionated guy but I have only responded on page 1 with the URL to where Wet Paint Glaze can be purchased which is what was wanted and then one more post on page 3 with the URL on Autopia with comments from Mike Phillips. So far I have not responded with any of my own opinions any where in this thread.
