Exclamation NASA polymer, as used by ‘The Master Detailer’

Yep, the very same aircraft polymer (not your rubbish auto type) that they use on the Space Shuttle! I guess that’s why the detail costs 2000 bucks – that, and the danger money for unraveling his electrical cord from his rotary.

To play, click on title.

And that knowledge doesn't include using masking tape, at least on the videos I've watched.

I am so torn between thinking that's real, and a wind up. It *has* to be a wind up, surely??

From the "more info" link by the poster of the video:

"STEP #2 THE GLAZING PROCESS
Once the MASTER cut & resurfaced the paint, he added a pure glaze adding oils & nutrients back into the paint
getting the color back to factory specs.
This process is very important as it keeps the paint from oxidizing.

STEP #3 POLYMER PAINT SEALER *THE ICING ON THE CAKE*
This process seals & protects the paint from fallout as well as any other comtaminants that might adher to the paint damaging it. ( This also includes the prevention of water spots from reoccuring)"

Step 2 is, well, quite frankly, just plain wrong! Oils may sit in the micro voids and pores of the paint (clearcoat to be exact!), but to claim the paint (clearcoat again) absorbs these oils or is in any way nourished like the cells in your body are with minerals, vitamins, proteins, etc, shows a complete lack of knowledge of an inorganic material.

I'm also going to call a fair amount of BS on Step 3 - unless every single micro void and pore of the clearcoat is filled, and the LSP promoted here itself is self levelling, contaminants will still manage to bond it.
I'm more than happy to be proven wrong, but I shan't be holding my breath until that time comes.

As said above, the Master has all the hallmarks of having sniffed one solvent too many in his time - loveable as he may be. Fruitcake springs to mind, almost instantly.

Yep, stand by my comment above - complete and utter fruit loaf, with extra chunks of real fruitiness for good measure.
