Well everything went very well with the coating and I had no issues at all. Thanks Richy and Avi for answering my questions. I had to get creative with washing as I don`t have running water or a drain. With the help of a 2gal garden sprayer, 5gal bucket to fill it, and a wet vac, I was able to do a good Dawn and APC wash. I followed that up with 2 IPA wipe downs. Can`t wait to see how it hold up and compares to OC.





Sorry I didn`t take a lot of pics. I did have to wet sand the front fender as it was repainted and the texture (orange peel) was way off from the rest of the car.

Headlight were pitted so I sanded them with 800/1000/1500/3000

I found the application to be very easy and the supplied foam block and MF sued towels work well, though they don`t do the best with very contoured surfaces. The smell of the product was very strong and having a well ventilated space would be advised.





Cheers,
