Default PB + Gyeon + PB + Black + FL SUN

This is a temporary replacement till my car is painted....

This is a "loaner" since car is in shop. It has 3800 on clock, and probably NEVER been washed or waxed. It was filthy (no before pics), all kinds of contaminates, but at least no real value added swirls and scratches.......... Did not clay, but needs it badly.


Wash:
PB SSS + PB Bug Squash as pre spray

Gyeon Wet Coat. Now since it`s black, sunny and play time..... Roof first, then I sprayed one entire side then hosed off to see if it streaked.. NOPE, no streaks, then repeated other side, then back, then nose.

Dried = Turbo dryer and WW for drippies.

LSP - PB Liquid Blue via pc7424 =+ red pad. Applied to whole truck, then removed.

Think dealer will notice?

I look at a rental or loaner as an opportunity to try and new product or technique.

Wife recently got a Trax and said she was afraid of having an accident because the glass didn't bead while raining. Whola ... the next day she was impressed at the beading all over the unit including the glass. Hydro2 baby ~!

As for dealer ...well they often are more interested in the gas gauge upon return, versus the actual automobile itself.

Probably right, but the service writer knows it'll come back nice. I let her use some of my stuff.

Both front fenders had to be removed and re painted due to chipping paint. There is a thread on it in "problems" section.

Looks good Gator! I have the same issue with my C7. I had the same problem with the visualizer when ordering my C8. I think it looks much better with your modification.
