Electric Red

techMology · 05-18-2006, 10:21 AM

Gents,

I'm just about to order some Zaino for the new ride, but they make a non-clear coat and a clear-coat polish and I'm unsure which to order.

So, Electric Red - clear coat or not?

Fanks,

I'm 99.999% positive you want clearcoat.

This is what I use... Your car does have a clearcoat... I think most (if not all) modern cars use clear coat. Maybe non-clearcoat ended 15 years ago or something??

I believe all contemporary paint work (post mid-80s I think) have clearcoats...

Heh... I guess I'm still living in the 80's.

I remember a time when it was pretty much a rule that non-metallic (especially red, white, and black) were non-clear coat.

Thanks for the help, guys.
