So how does your hood wrap look now? Still look okay after using the acidic wash? I purchased it but wanted to follow up on the potential long term effect before using it myself. Definitely a bit nervous to apply it when i have the XPEL on the front of the car and ceramic on the rest. I also will be using the Adams car shampoo to neutralize it after the 30 seconds.

It's been several weeks now, several washes later, etc. - it still looks like it did on day one. No long term issues for me but, make sure you rinse it well (especially around the seams of the hood vents) and wash it with PH neutral soap at least 2x after. Since it's acidic, use at your own risk... I am not familiar with the XPEL or ceramic coating as I don't have either... but I would be a little surprised if it was a problem once cured. You might Google the type of acid in it for reactivity or, try their customer support? I can say, don't ever use this stuff on glass that has Rain-x on it. Learned that lesson the hard way with my previous car - it pitted the glass somehow with the combination, even after a rinse.
Good luck. The pictures in my profile were taken a few weeks after using it, they're in HD and pretty good close ups. If you can, post back and let us know how it goes. Last edited by Ironhide; 09-07-2017 at 12:23 AM. |

Just take the hood off and put it on some sawhorses, it's like 4 bolts.

Ok. In need of a little help. I had noticed a good sized spot on the hood before that looked almost like grease was wiped on it. It's "wet" compared to the matte wrap surrounding it.
I've tried dawn soap, chemical guys matte cleaner/sealer, megs quick detailer. Nothing seems to get it off. Do you think the Eraser product would help? It doesn't look like scuffing or scratches. Any other recommendations? I'll grab some pictures tomorrow and post them. Edit: Smudge is a better word for the spots. I re-read Iron's original post and saw it took care of a few smudges on his from the dealer. Went ahead and ordered it. |

I've got it sitting on my shelf of supplies, just haven't had the time to use it yet. I want to be very meticulous and stuff keeps popping up forcing me to do quick two bucket washes. I will use it in the next couple weeks and report back.
