Default Ceramic Pro 9H finished

Hello all. I just had the Ceramic Pro 9H started yesterday and the team finished today. 6 total coats. Being the car is white it probably does not show up well in pictures. The person who did the job could not find any orange peel on the paint and was very impressed with how good the paint was. Car was built 1/23/18 so it's from the new paint process.

I’ve done several White cars for Customers. If the polishinging and prep is done correctly you can see a huge difference even on White.

Yes. The paint looks much deeper. Almost like you can jump in and go for a swim.

That hood stinger was a Macmulkin recommendation. They picked it out for me and did the install. They said it took their guy a long time to get it right.

Could not find orange peel? That is hard to believe, I did a white GS and it had some. It definitely was not as bad as I thought though, barely noticeable.

Yes, white can come out to look amazing!

Im just telling you what I was told by the 2 guys who did the job who were highly recommended. They said it was one of the better painted corvettes they have come across in a long time.

This is the first car I have ceramic coated and I am amazed every day at how much it shines, how deep the shine is, and how well it beads water. In 3 months I have only washed it once. I use a spray bottle with a couple drops of Gyeon and an Eagle microfiber towel and it stays looking great. Good luck to all.
