Thank you!

Sadly, it was a grey cloudy day when I took the pics.
It looked better in person.

Merlin:
Did you do anything other than clean this convertible top? I see no list of convertible top protectants.
How long time-wise per panel does it take to cure the Cquartz Finest Reserve with the Short Wave IR light and how many times do you need to re-position it to do an entire vehicle of this size?
Do you use Short Wave IR to cure the CQ-FR on EVERY vehicle this coating is applied to or only when ambient temps are somewhat "cool", cool being below 55°F (or so) in Florida where you are doing this detailing?
(Ah, all the unusual Captain Obvious questions!)

Excellent detailing work on this white S560.
