Mattie & Killmer sit down for a birthday podcast celebrating Matties 41st birthday!

Back from a recent trip to the RingBrothers paint correcting and ceramic coating two new cars, one of them happed to be Mike Rings new SRT. With only two days to complete the job Davy P and Mattie worked long days to knock out both vehicles. The first one was a new Black Acura MDX with 4,000 miles, the second one was Mike Rings new SRT.

I am sure most detailers prefer to work on new cars when given the chance vs countless labor hours on high milage used vehicles. However, many new cars are coming right from the manufacture with paint issues these days. A common problem is factory die back or paint shrinkage and this new SRT was by far the the worst we have seen have ever seen. If you are new to detailing and are not familiar with this term, you can ready about it on the internet. I-CAR and BASF have some information on there web page describing some of the causes.

Many professional detailers are equipped with the tools, pads and liquids to tackle the common defects such as scratches, swirls, blemishes, fading and oxidation. When it comes to Dye back, its more of a chemical reaction from the paint drying and some of these "defects" or "inconsistencies" are stuck in the clear from cross linking. Sometimes its an easy fix just by cutting with a microfiber pad, and other times its time it becomes time consuming and can involve sanding the paint.

Its very likely that the car care industry will continue to see more and more of this in the future, we walked to get the conversation started about this topic. If any of our viewers that are listening to this episode or have read this text, please reach out to Mattie about your experience on dealing with this, your feedback would be appreciated.
