So we had warnings of massive hail. To protect the Dayz I covered it from front to back with bubble wrap. Very clever. No

f@%*+ng way. When I took the wrap off today I found that there had been a chemical reaction between the wrap and the clear coat. It looks like a honey comb effect. The red duco is now randomly speckled white. It looks UTS.

Oh well looks like a complete respray is now a needed.

Anyone else had a bright idea that wasn't?

Maybe this could be a place to make your confessions.

I got some and the spray stuff. Cost $50 and did stuff all.

Going to try very fine wet and dry to see if that works, if not atotal respray.

talk to a detailer, tell them what happened and let them have a go. you could end up doing more damage to something that might be fixable.
i would definitly give a pro a couple of hundred before shelling out thousands.

our dealership had balloons out in 40+ deg head. the paint popped them on contact and they the melting rubber sat on the paint for a weekend. marked to shit. the paint men got them back to shiney new so they can do some amazing things.

      Yes, important point. Watch the Motive videos with Herman thickness testing the bores and deck. You do not want to push the unlucky (thin) block as hard as you can push the average block.

      Make sure to have the block checked for cracking etc before doing anything.

      What's this Foreign Object?

      Pull it out. Put a suction hose on it drawing from a bucket of petrol. Put a discharge hose on it pointing back into the bucket. Add 12V. That will tell you if it works at all. Then put it back in, turn the engine on, and see if there is 12V on the terminals. That would suggest that it runs when the car does and adds its "capacity" to the total pumping system.

      So you're telling me this is an external fuel pump? I've had the car for at least 6 years now and it's been there the entire time. I had the car tuned a couple years ago and I had the shop do the fuel system, including a new in-tank Proflow 340 which shit itself about a year later and I replaced it with the same model. I find it odd that they didn't remove this or even make mention of it. I seriously had no idea what it was. How would I test if it's functioning?

      Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
