PARTS REQUIRED:
NOTE:
Thoroughly wash vehicle before inspection or repair. Always begin with least aggressive method to remove a paint condition. Measure and
document paint film thickness before, during and after repair. Only .5 mil of clearcoat removal is permissible for condition repair. If more than .5
mil of clearcoat is removed, refinish is required. Follow paint manufacturers recommendations.
NOTE:
Work one section at a time. Always work on a cool paint surface free of bonded surface contaminants. Should above surface defects be present;
prepare the surface with Meguiar's Detailing Clay (C2000/C2100) and Last Touch Spray Detailer (D155). Wipe remaining residue with a
Detailing Cloth.
