always test in an inconspicuous area!

Nice! The newer stuff has UV stuff built in. I'm still debating on what color scheme to go with.

Since I'll be changing the color of my Proton to chameleon (as told by wifey), you should go with yellow/black combo... after all, we need to maintain a natural balance in the VX world. :bwgy:

A lot of it wiped off the front when I was removing the bugs I collected on my trip home leaving the front uneven and blotchy. The cargo door was extremely streaky. Remember the fake black wood grain on the back of a Lincoln Blackwood - looked a lot like that. In addition to big swirls all over the cladding, there were some bare places here and there where the Bondo just wouldn't stick. It looked like it could use a 2nd coat all the way around.

I spent a week or two trying to even out the front and make the blotches, streaks and swirls disappear. Those bare spots on the sides continued to inexplicably repel it. Everything I did made it look worse... and worse... and worse. I'd wipe it across a bad area; it would remove the old streaks and leave new ones in a slightly different pattern. And it would leave an obvious thin area around whatever spot or panel you had just tried to fix. :rolly:

Good news, it can be removed with SuperClean. Bad news, that is some evil stuff and you need to be very careful with it! WEAR GLOVES unless you purposely want to remove a layer of skin. Also, avoid getting it on your gas filler door. I accidentally squeezed the trigger as I picked up the bottle and the spray left light dots in the filler door paint. :(

WHOA! I didn't realize this was the same stuff you had been dealing with...after reading all about your impressions, say no more....I'm not going to touch it! Luna and I will come up with something I'm sure. [and yes, you and me both, Dan, on waiting for the heat to break...this week has been wonderful up here at 83 ...finally!]

Scott- WOW, I just can't believe WD-40 works so well on so many things I'd never even thought of....I did know it removed water from locks, but that's about it........but it sounds like it's workin' for ya.

Regarding Line-X'ing the body... check out member Patrick Cooper's gallery. Here's a sample:
