Anybody here tried wipe new?

It won't work. Once the clear is gone you need a paint job or just live with it. I have a couple of vehicles with failed clearcoat, if someone points out how shabby they look I just say they're rat rods.

The wipe new stuff only works if you still have clear coat left on it.Really you have two options pastidip it or maybe a macco cheap paint job.

ill paint it later down the road. just wanted ideas to make it shine once in awhile.I read somewhere that wd40 wiped on a car would really shine . I just don't want to mess it up where it cant even be painted someday. ive always heard never to put silicon based products on car paint or it would be there forever, idk. ill just give it a good hand wash .love my xj.

If you live in the communist state of California, you can't get Plasti-Dip in the gallon cans.

Busted thats kinda dumb lol,Is there some law it breaks ?

Environmental laws. Did you know that there is a special California approved carpet for the bunk boards on boat trailers? Yeah, this state is crazy with environmental laws.

People complain about America's protections over its natural resources.
Alot of the time they are there for a damn good reason, but sometimes they are silly and make little sense.

Still, it's better than what China has done to it's natural resources. If plasti-dip is illegal in gallons in your state, there is not much you can do. I would suggest not breaking the law by "obtaining" gallons of plasti-dip

My suggestion is to get a cheap HVLP spray setup and paint it in Coyote Desert Tan

Matte paint is much easier to spray at home than gloss, and you could probably buy a set-up for very cheap. Paint someone's car on Craigslist when you're done and you would recoop most of the cost, but it does take a bit of practice to get it right

I knew cali had some stupid laws but that takes the cake to me.Have you seen the plywood cancer warning label if not google it.

Hey shut up, I got vaginal cancer from plywood 3 years ago.
