Am I the only one who just hit 500 paint jobs and realized I've been prepping wrong?
I painted my 500th car last Tuesday, a silver 2017 Honda Accord here in Phoenix. I kept wondering why my clear coat was failing on edges after a year for a lot of customers. Turns out I was using too much wax and grease remover on the primer and it was messing with adhesion. Finally found a YouTube video that explained it step by step. Has anyone else hit a big number and found a dumb mistake you were making the whole time?

Bro, that's a solid facepalm moment.

Wait, are you sure it was the wax and grease remover? I always thought that stuff evaporates fully before you even shoot paint, so it shouldn't mess with adhesion unless you used way too much and didn't let it dry.
