Default Just ceramic coated my GS



It took about 2 hours but I think it came out very good. Use gloves. CQuartz UK 3.0 was recommended by a friend who is a professional.
My camera really sucks but it looks better in person.

Looks good! What prep work did you do and did you apply to wheels as well?

I also use it in the UK Edition. The preparation upstream must be well done, bodywork treated with pure IPA diluted to 15%, rectify the swirls with a dual orbital then apply by maintaining with carpro reload silicate

Since the car is brand new I just just washed it with de-ionized water to get any dust off it.

Looks really good. I'm planning to do it on my car also, though I need to fix some minor imperfections first.

Nice job and I’d say your camera works just fine.

Gonna take longer to apply most good coatings. Just don't have to do it again for a year or two.

Before applying the ceramic, even on a new car there are defects, especially at GM, you have to correct the paint and then do a detailing in the right way and remove the surface oils before applying the ceramic. believe me, it takes days before applying the ceramic if you want it to be professional... but everyone does as they want of course !
