    It feels like it`s been a long day. We coated the wheels on this bike, fairings already done:



    We prepped these two cars for sale. Owner decided they weren`t going to sell the Benz after they saw it cleaned up:

    Finished cutting the Z06 and polished with essence. Going to go back tomorrow after work to apply the coating. My friend is really happy with us so far. This car is beating me up though, hard clear and is just so low to the ground.

    Spent the weekend bringing some heavily oxidized paint on an 08` Kia Optima that daughter uses for to/from high school.
    - Washed with CarPro iron X foam and clayed vehicle.
    - Polished with Boss`s Fast Correcting cream on a 5" Megs DFC5. Multiple passes on hood, while 2 on hood and trunk and just once elsewhere.
    - Used CarPro eraser to prep for coating
    - used two coats of CarPro C.Quartz ceramic quartz (used for first time and happy with ease of application and results.

    Very happy with results on this almost 200k mile vehicle that was very much neglected when we purchased it. Will look good for her remaining year next year.

    I`m finishing up one of these today in red. Paint was super hard and has some issues. I have some videos of the rear decklid and it looks like the paint is shrinking into the fiberglass

    enjoying your IG posts! GM paint is typically medium-hard but it gets a bit harder on the c6 cause of the fiberglass.

    shoot me that video! interested to see. sometimes you can find the rear deck lid cracking if people aren`t careful when they go to slam the lid

    roof is ready for some essence and a couple layers of coatings...
    still have to cut into the bumpers, hood and passenger side

    hoping to have all this done by saturday but who knows, I still have crazy ideas of using a bottle of exo v3 then a bottle of exov2 on top of csl...but I have a separate crazy man idea...so who knows how this will turn out but the roof is done, sorta

    I don`t know if my bottle of essence is bad but I had to polish out the vette again last night because the essence stuck to it. I couldn`t get some of it off even with OPT paint prep.
