30 days may seem like a long time, but in order to do something like that really well, it takes a lot of time and a lot of labor. And it certainly be 1st class glass.

The car looks awesome. If it was mine it'd probably never leave my garage.

No offense, but I would never spend that much money and time on clear coats cuz if I did, I'd be afraid to drive it on the road. I don't believe in garage/trailer queens as the C5 is simply too much fun as a daily driver.
