Is there an issue with using R3 on painted surface directly (no nano or clear bra)?

after R3, hose area down with PLENTY of water,
then spray liquid wax / detailer over then wipe
I also wax that area after.
R3 is scary.

Default PFF = PPF

Somebody needs to introduce you to a modern ceramic coating. It makes maintenance so much quicker, the stuff just sheds dirt and grime!

I derive enjoyment from my car by driving it, not ogling it. Reading these forums reminds me how fortunate I am not to have "car OCD". It seems like it takes a huge toll on one's mind and wallet, and I'm probably happier with my most-often dirty car that only gets washed maybe once a month than the typical car OCD person is with their ride that's immaculate except for one tiny little imperfection somewhere they never would have noticed had they not put it under a microscope just to look for flaws.

You nailed it!

Brilliant.
