will it hurt the clear coat on my new vehicle?

NO I have used for several years on many different cars and have never had a problem

Hurt the clear coat? I would say no!This product will not remove or harm a hand applied coat of wax, thus it will not harm the factory clear coat,. This is a high quality product. I am not a car expert, I am a auto enthusiast and I use this product often with good results.

Yes. But you couldn't get crazy and expect it to protect against real serious damage. You probably would need to take old off and reapply after. I am considering color matched line-x to the underside of our odyssey van as it is very low and prone to scraping on curbs.

Should not be a problem, unless the the paint is poor quality with poor adhesion. Factory paint or proper body shop paint should not be a problem

Yes. Even if the car was perfectly clean. If that's your plan I would make sure the car is clean and put a chamois between the bag and the paint.That said -- depends on what you mean by "scratch" -- different people are entitled to keep their cars as different levels of condition. Some are more utilitarian than others.

I do not know the answer to this. I assume the bike already has a coating on it, and I am not sure if this clear coat will bond to that surface.

I think you may want to call Graco on that question. Plasti-Dip is a pretty thick covering.

The sealer is very tough to remove and I have no idea if it will harm a good paint job. . I did not care as my tanks needed re-painting anyway. I did 2 tanks and both came out perfect. Make sure you do it right by the book and have a heat gun!

Yes, you can... I have not in the 8 months since applying it to our new vehicle. It is a permanent bond with the paint, like another layer of clear coat. As long as you wash it and dry it, there should not be a need to wax. But, yes you can. It would not hurt the opti-coat to do so.

No. All of the contact points with the car are padded, so it doesn't damage the paint.

It would seem to me that you could do this. I found that the clear coat does not go as far as the epoxy does in coverage. You may need additional clear coat.

I would be careful. It's pretty strong stuff, and I noticed it has removed stain on wood when there was a clear coat over it, so obviously it went through the finish. I would never use it on the exterior of any vehicle. Better safe than sorry. You might want to use something like fiberglass magic if they sell it still and if not, a power washer.

That's a question best asked of a body shop technician. It will buff out light scratches in clear coat, but I cant vouch for much else. Sorry.

I've used it on my white gti and its worked great. Can't say anything about using it on a car without clear coat.

Yes you should clear coat it. It helps against scratching.and makes a better shine.

I bet it can...but the soft nature of Plastidip may not add much if anything to it. Why not just go with a spray paint low gloss clear coat? it will be more durable in the contact wear areas imo.

So far it hasn't harmed the paint, but vehicles have different types of paint so I can't speak for its effect on all types of paint. If you overspray on a painted surface just wipe it off before it can do any harm. Of course you can mask the painted area if you are really afraid.

Should be no problem whatsoever. I also had all kinds of scrapes and scratches on my bumper and had actually considered having it airbrushed before applying the BumperTek. But decided the BumperTek would cover up most of them, and it did. And there was no issue getting it to adhere to the bumper right over the scratches. Bill
