Hi,

With great difficulty, I got the mould to release from the front bumper. I am happy with the outcome. Just a few questions:

1. Is there an alternative to mould cleaner I can use to clean away the wax?

2. Is there a trick to touching up any imperfections with additional gelcoat?

Most of the wax will scrape off plus warm soap and water will help too.  

There is no special trick to repairs.  Sand the effected area then use a small amount of gel to touch up.  Solution MW will help avoid a tacky surface.  Once filled, flat level with surrounding area then polish back to a gloss.

You can see the repair process on our bonnet mould video at 17min 39Sec.
