This car was purchased new by the owner in 2010 and he has been thinking about trading it in. After changing his mind and deciding to keep it, I was contacted as he wanted to bring the exterior back to a better then new condition after seeing other vehicles on my website.

Coating Application
after finishing the compound process, I went around the car with a finishing polish to further enhance the gloss and depth of the paint. After this the surface was wiped down with Eraser to prep the surface for the application of CQuartz Finest

The car was pulled outside to do a final inspection for high spots before curing the coating.

with the painted surfaces taken care of, it was now time to take care of all the faded trim pieces.
