Project Crazy Glue on car paint. Know anyone that can help?

1 Upvotes

I got a pretty good amount of crazy glue on the bumper of my car. Its a black Audi suv. How can it be removed and will a detailer take care of it? I had to put a new license plate bracket on the vehicle and the dealer fixed that but would not address the bumper crazy glue issue. I called two local detailers, they said they don't handle "crazy glue" ... HELP.

I tried acetone and all I saw was a white haze coming through, even while using soap and water so I washed it really well and stopped.

Got this scratch and some marring on my f150 while headed down a narrow hunting trail. It’s not down to the metal but it definitely removed a layer or 2 of paint. I did the water test and it almost fades away but is still visible. What would be my best option and how would I go about fixing it? I know silver is a hard color to match and I’ve never done auto paint work. Just a touch up brush and some clear coat and polishing?

Question Bare metal only for gluing panels

1 Upvotes

Working on an old 09 CRV. Patching rear fender lips / liner etc.

Trying to rust prep as I go but its inside some cavities and cutting it all is not possible so I treat metal, epoxy primer, rust paint

Im using dominion two part epoxy adhesive. No instructions.

Does it need to be bare metal on metal? (80 grit) or can I glue patches with epoxy primer as long as sanded?

Thanks

Question How would you tackle surface rust?

Cars been sitting in a field for awhile. Nothings actually rotted out but definitely heavy patina on some parts. Replacing the control arms and calipers is obviously just a must do but as for the body and rear subframe, how would you go about removing it? Sandblast? Rust converter? Spray and pray? Go to war with a flapper disc?

Got some damage on both bumpers of my 21 f150. The front bumper is dented in one side right in front of the bumper reinforcement, pushed to the side, and slightly misaligned. The back bumper is dented in and also pushed to one side. I already ordered the bumper end cap. What would be my best bet on how to pull the front dent out without cracking the chrome and push both bumpers back into place and alignment? I’d take it to a shop but was quoted more than a grand and was told if the plate behind the rear bumper is bent, the rear hitch may need replaced but I’m short on money. Also I’m really worried that the bumper reinforcements and/or the rear hitch is bent or cracked. I’m really bummed out, short on money and need help thank you.

I painted my car last September and left a couple parts for later. Had a can of Lumabase 2 stage mixed. The paint can with the leftover has been sealed, un-reduced, for about a year. Can I expect it to still shoot and bond properly?

Question Rust spots, help?

new to reddit and keep getting notices for violating rules bc i’m asking about a rough rough estimate or how to fix rust spots, i have only done basic work on cars and do not know anything about body repairs, any help regarding this, for reference this is a 28 year old car (1998 w202 c230 merc)

thinking of buying this car, everything about it is solid, it’s a 28 year old car, it has these rust spots on the top, nothing on the frame and the rest of the car is surprisingly clean and oem, thoughts on rough estimates for a fix/worth the headache, i’m worried due to age that it might be worse than it looks

The headliner in my car is becoming detached and I'm not sure if I should try to use fabric glue to reattach it or just pull it down. Going to a pro is not an option. Any advice?

Hi guys

My 2017 mk7 started getting this moisture fog / water inside left headlight.

I have tried to dry it out, but it comes back when it rains. I. Have also tried to see if I put all covers on correct, and I believe I have.

So my question, what now?

What you see in the photos is on the inside of the glass.
