well it wasnt carlovers but pretty much the same thing. i read on hear that it uses chemicals or recycled water, in my opinion that sux (duh), but it does a pretty good job, cheap and quick.

my beef is not with the water its with the water pressure. i had it on soap with the trigger squeezed an saw a bit that needed doin on the wheel guard/housing/ front quater panel (whateva, its just infront of the front wheel) where it gets really skinny.

so i get closer, not coming off, closer, closer. 'where did that black spot come from?'. closer. 'OH NO, YOUR GOT TO BE KIDDING' it took off the paint.

this is just not good. in my laziness by not getting the brush ive just taken off a bit of paint about 2cmx5cm. its not a really noticable thing, its the bit facing the tire, but if it happened anywhere else i would have cried.

so take heed of this warning; DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE. if u have a spot that doesnt budge, get the brush.

so is touch up paint the way to go? super white 2 or something.

can i get if from auto bahn/ super cheap?

Hey pal sorry to hear about your paint but, find out if your car colour is the same as the Camry's.

I work at Toyota I can get you a little touch up kit! ;)

im not sure what the difference is, but im willing to give it a go.

I thought it was common knowledge that the high pressure guns will strip paint near edges or stonechips. Dont spray too close to the surface with them.

thanks seems a little little far to cruise there. :) ......just a bit.

if you dont mind sending it im happy to pay for all costs. if not dont worry.

and rollamods since i have never heard of it i guess it isnt 'common' knowledge. but now its seems it should have been averted with a little common sense lol.

i use the car lovers and always take care with the high pressure because iv seen it happen! When i see a stain that wont come out i let go the trigger low pressure still quite stong and i move it right up to the spot.

Do you guys find that any polish you put on gets stripped off with one decent wash in the car lovers type places? :rolleyes:

Do you use the wax?

or are they just not so good for your car in general? :unsure:
