digital808 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Applied CCR to help try and prolong slow oxidation on roof rear spoiler. CCR actually made it worse and even melted the paint in certain sections. What went wrong? CCR Issue Video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I can't open the video - was there clear coat on the spoiler? CCR is a clear coat restorer, but needs clear to bond, so won't work where clear is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Response from Dr G (similar to mine) - CCR is for oxidized paint that still has film integrity. Once the paint starts failing and is delaminating there is no way to save it and requires repaint. That seems to be the case here based on the statements like paint melting.

After CCR, oxidation became more noticible, as seen in the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 videos are always difficult to decipher (for me) - see some kind of damage (you say not delam?) and hazing. Prep for CCR calls for decontamination, polishing with Hyper Compound/wool pad to remove oxidation and abrade the paint, and finally clean up with Paint Prep. Did you do all that? Tug Bankert (an Optimum Pro Installer) had this post under Optimum Products Discussion: Ccr will repair and restore oxidized paint so long as there is enough clear coat for it to bond do. If their is failure than no. Power clean straight, ferrex and clay, scuff slightly with hyper compound and wool pad on a da and lay it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron@Optimum Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 unfortunately CCR is not a cure all - good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Bankert Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Ccr has a learning curve to figure it out. The towels ne soaked and kept that way adding a little bit every so often to keep the towel edge soaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
