Looks awesome!! Honestly guys this isn't a hard thing to do yourself. Save the $650 and spend a day with your baby and do it yourself. Here's mine I did and I have to say the deep shine looks just as good although your opinion may vary.

I just had my black C-5 done and it is amazing!

I'm still thinking about having my 'night race blue' C-7 done.
It's a bit pricey, and I'm going to see how the C-5 winters over. I drive it much more than the C-7. Cost me $1500 for the full treatment (including wheels and calipers.

Thanks Dave! I'm not sure what paint correction products were used, but he used Kamakazi for the ceramic coating.

Thanks VG-I've worked hard at making this C7 what it is. Actually, Harlan Charles saw my car at the NCM Birthday Bash. Maybe I gave him some ideas.......

I want to do this, but something tells me in a few years it's going to be a nightmare issue by either cracking, dis coloring or something of that nature and from what read this is not an easy remove.

Steven, that car is awesome!

I have a Torch Red. After looking at your photos, I went to my garage and looked at my car. Previously thought it looked good. Now see I have work to do!!

Late to this one. But, if they say pics are never as good as the real thing, I can only think this must be amazing in person, out in the light on a nice day. Looks really great!

I have had this product on my black 2015 suburban for 2 years now. It sits outside and is by no means treated like my vette. The paint still looks as amazing as the day it was done. There have been no signs of cracking, discoloring or anything negative in nature to the vehicle.

As for removing it, I have seen how it's removed and it's not bad at all.

Definitely get it done if you're in the market for it. It is well worth the money.

Thanks Mark, but I'm sorry I've created extra work for you, though.....

Thanks! By the way, these pictures were taken and no post production was done to them either. Especially the first set of pictures were taken with my iPhone!
