I ordered my first bottle of wet paint, and it should be here this week. My big question to all of those who use wet paint glaze is What must I avoid when applying wet paint to my car? I realize that the black plastic parts near the windshield, plastic side skirts and side mirrors cannot be touched by it. What else should I avoid? Should I avoid the black roof rails and even the rubber around the sunroof?
Thanks

So I haven't been following the forum as closely as I usually do, but I will say that I haven't found any areas that Wet Paint causes problems with, and that includes the plastic around the windshield. I always spray the liquid on terrycloth and then wipe on the car, and then it buffs right off. I tend to not do it in the bright sun, so that any chances of a stain or "burn in" are long gone (although they say it doesn't matter). So far, using this stuff is about as "dummy proof" of a thing that I've found. :thmsup:

which explains why I like it so much, it's Rick proof!!!! :banana:
Here's a few hints I have:
As the directions specify apply it to the entire terrycloth towel (both sides) once then the paint. If you're doing a door let's say, spray the WP near the center of the door and spread it around with the towel, folded in quarters. When you spray it around the edges some goes into the joints and must be wiped down later. It's not a problem but why give yourself an extra step by getting pink in the areas around doors or between hood and fenders? Do the whole car then go back and wipe it off. That makes more sense than overspraying a section you've just wiped down. If time allows do the car twice to assure full coverage, you will use about 1/2 the amount you did the first go 'round.
Shake extremely well the 1st time and briefly every five or so minutes thereafter.
Once done let the pressure off of the aerosol. If it's really pumped up and accidentally dropped the container could pop and make a mess.
These are little things I've learned the hard way and posting them may save you a little time and do a better job while avoiding extra steps.
There are no reasons to avoid mirrors, plastics, or glass. It works on those and also wheels and hubcaps. KEY WORDS---Non Porous surfaces.

don't worry, wet paint is not like an acid or whatever.
It won't harm anything if you wipe it.
Do it once and you'll know how easy it is.
Make sure too keep your expectation low if you have silver car :D
Well I guess you have red.

i haven't found any area of my car that i have to carefully avoid putting WP. i dont go over the black rubber and plastic part w/ WP (i use Back to Black for these areas), but im sure i do sometimes without knowing it. no harm done. as other users have said, works great on glass, lights, rims. awesome product. just make sure you apply THIN.

I used it for the first time last night. Good stuff, I did it on a dirty car, and it is all clean and shiney now. No new scratches from it as far as I can tell. I think I used a little too much. I just have to get use to using it.

Just did the whole car and I think I got the trick of it. This stuff is completely amazing, and the best part is you need no water at all!! I am going to order a case of it! I don't think I will ever use a hose and wash mitt again... and forget waxing when you got Wet Paint!
