Can We Repair This Failing Paint With Poppy's Patina Wipe On Clear Coat?!?!

[@apexdetail85]

As you can see its limitations...wipe on clear has its place. There are now many to choose from.

[@shooterjohn7163]

Brian, I think you did a remarkable job. You can only do so much to increase your value without wasting money. Great segment that is easy to do. Thanks for showing us this…. John

[@apexdetail85]

Looks a bit better. :)

[@ScottBivens-h6t]

Once again! You've avoided the costly Body Shop. Great job Brian

[@TheMobileDetailShop1296]

The best teaching channel on you tube.

[@apexdetail85]

I'm glad you enjoy the content! :)

[@BillyT531]

Seems like a perfect application for some Dr. Color Chip on what is remaining.

[@DuckysDetail]

Does Dr color chip work?

[@apexdetail85]

Good point!

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

Always educational ones!

[@apexdetail85]

I appreciate your support!

[@johnmaddern3519]

Just wanted to wish you well as you continue to build your Auction Car Reconditioning work. I really appreciate the Channel and your Knowledge. Thanks from Downunder

[@apexdetail85]

Thank you!! Much more to come!

[@bigd9848]

Great job Brian ✊It came out really nice 💎

[@williampinchbeck4321]

Looks great Brian!! Great job!!

[@kimnewling5728]

Ahhh, the magic of wet sanding. Pretty cool. Way better

[@jotighe2]

these are the kinds of videos I am looking for...

[@kenbode8806]

Great job Brian

[@chriskiefer5132]

Another great job, thanks for showing us the way !

[@404notfound.....]

The final polish showed the true results. Definitely much more than acceptable!! The wipe on clear coat has its place!!! ✅️

[@davidboyce6427]

The Shop manager is thinking Ho Hum another Masterful job I’m bored by my owners GREATNESS. Wake me when he’s done🤣🤣🤣🤣 All Kidd aside it came out beautifully 👀🫡🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@CVHfromKauai]

This was exciting to watch. I have a hunch you will re-spray no matter how much the shop manager tries to entice you to go for a walk instead .

[@apexdetail85]

You are correct....I already have. :)

[@BRZN-Dave]

Looks really good on video. Nice job!

[@bdlii]

I like that. 8’ to 3’. Perfect amount of work to Improve this vehicle based on age and value.

[@apexdetail85]

Exactly! :)

[@IntegraDIY]

Looks good, only thing I would’ve done differently was use a flexible sponge block sander, it minimizes the waves. Overall this was a good budget repair

[@apexdetail85]

Good point

[@johnmaddern3519]

As a recently retired prestige Auto Painter you managed a pretty good result

[@apexdetail85]

Oh ...what I would enjoy doing with a smidge of your knowledge! :) Cheers!

[@davestewart9146]

Unfortunately I have the typical paint itself peeling from the metal on my 2006 pu, so frustrating, thanks for showing us options Brian 👍😁

[@MNpicker]

No bad results at all!! I don't get a lot of higher end cars in.. some are pretty rough 😳.. I think with what I personally am working with.. this product is perfect 👌🏻 😁

[@Matt_justlikethat]

Looks great, it is what it is right now. Need to polish the hood. Haha 👍 Nice work

[@apexdetail85]

The hood is next. :)

[@norcalspitshine6406]

Nice job I like it.

[@Big_Old_Dog]

Like magic! Any mention how long it needs to cure before you can ceramic coat over it?

[@apexdetail85]

24hr minimum.

[@Calendyr]

I am impressed. I would probably sand down first then spray base coat back on then clear with it. Would not take much more time and it would probably come out almost perfect. For me it's mostly the time needed. I am mobile so I have to be able to do everything within a single visit. So the question is, how long does it take to dry enough to be able to wetsand it. I think it's a great product, especially because you don't need to wear PPE to use it other than gloves. And no overspreay to everyting around. Obviously if you use basecoat in a spray can, you will have to worry about overspray though.

[@apexdetail85]

I waited 24 hrs before sanding.

[@pwrshots]

Nice!

[@pappajohn8912]

Much better!

[@Calendyr]

How long did you wait before wetsanding? Can it be done within an hour or so or do you have to wait for a day or more?

[@apexdetail85]

24 hrs is recommended.

[@442olds7]

Could you use regular clear coat and hardener and do the same thing? Wipe it on and only mix up a tiny amount instead of gearing up a spray gun and all that stuff.

[@apexdetail85]

It does not "self level" like this stuff does.

[@monoralph1375]

Not perfect, but much improved. I would be pleased with the result on a 10 year old Honda. I will be trying my hand on some rust spots when the spring arrives.

[@apexdetail85]

Agreed....best of luck.

[@shahnulislam9897]

Please take a min to introduce the handsome good boy hanging out with poppa

[@apexdetail85]

Oh absolutely.

[@SPPACATR]

I didn't see you apply the poppy product in this video. It goes from chipped paint to black at 1:10. Did I miss something? Really wanted to see the product in action

[@apexdetail85]

Explained in the video.

[@edwinnegron7758]

Shop manager is somewhat impressed.

[@apexdetail85]

Somewhat...but not blown away.

[@johnschiesser144]

Do you think you could have improved this by touching up those chips with paint prior to clear coating?

[@apexdetail85]

I did....but the clear did not agree with it.

[@atikovi1]

$30 of materials and an hour or two of your time vs. $300 at a body shop. For a 10 year old car it's a no brainer. 10 feet away you can't tell anyway.

[@apexdetail85]

Exactly!

[@Matt_justlikethat]

1500???

[@1stfrompuertorico568]

First!!!!!!!!!

[@deathstar8072]

As good as that turned out I think it would be much more appealing if that dent wasn't there.

[@apexdetail85]

I agree.

[@markjohnson777]

My thought is that the spot is going to drive you crazy until you fix it. You only stop when there is no more that can be done. I can tell from our body language that you are not satisfied. That is why I watch your videos because i know that when you do a job I am learning how to do it correctly and not just enough to get by.

[@apexdetail85]

You are correct....I re sprayed it. :)

[@gogators5762]

Brian, my belief is that your original assessment was re spray. But this made for a great video! I also agree, I could tell you weren't satisfied with the result's! Jumped in the comments and this great comment is exactly my take!

[@darrenwilliamson7944]

For the time you put into the Patina application and your return investment/profit...........I wouldn't spend the time and effort in sanding and painting. It's a used vehicle that looks much better in that spot. It's a Honda, and now a CLEAN Honda, so that's where your profit is coming from, not trying to make it perfect and the time and effort in doing so. My opinion only.

[@apexdetail85]

I agree.
