I think that I am noticing similar results as others after a few washes. There is a slight decrease in gloss. It still feels really smooth to me and after using the QD, most of the gloss and slickness returns....but not all. I have Klasse on another car for 5 months now and it still shines like it was put on yesterday. So there is a durability (of shine) issue with BF. I don't know if this correlates to a loss of protection to the paint. However, I did throw another coat on....took me all of 1/2 hour on and off total. Shine is restored and the shine is definitely more pleasing to my eye than Klasse or Zaino by a notch or two. I am considering layering on some Blitz or Souveran, or even trying a layer of ZFX/Z2. I can tell you that the new layer of BF does a very good job of hiding the very minor swirls that tend to happen with washing.

Just to be fair. I have about 6 layers of SG over 1 layer of AIO on the other car. I only had 2 layers of BF on the Mustang. I just got finished putting on 3 more layers of BF. So I will continue to watch its performance. The shine is at least as good as Souveran, very creamy and deep. But the shine needs to last longer than 2 or 3 washes (with BF wash).

Just completed, this Porsche is taken car of very well by the owner however he could not get the car from 80% to 100% or as close to it for having over 7,500 miles on the odometer.

Usual thorough wash/clay procedure, along with cleaning the wheels and wheel wells as good as I could get them without dis-mounting the wheels. This would be an exterior correction with a vac.

This is where I started the polishing on the rear spoiler , as there was marring in hard to reach areas.

It took some time but acheived the look the owner wanted.

Clearfilm finished down nicely.

As I have said before, the Gen 2 997's have a nicer finish than the Gen 1 997's.

Nice work on the car and catching the Porsche wall mounted sign smack in the middle of the hood!

Were those slats ploished by hand or machine?
