Need serious advice from guys that know paint protection
 
So my car will be getting out of the paint shop in a few days. The paint used is chromaprimier DuPont paint. They use 2 coats of clear standard and I was gonna ask for 3 just to make the clear extra thick because a painter told me to. I was also looking for ANY help on a clear bra, X-pel (Lambo has it) paint protection, or anything! ANY help is appreciated. It's going to be clay barred and waxed and polished professionally after painted but this car will be on the highway a good bit and I want to protect it as much as possible. Please help! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...87901cba62.jpg

I have heard good things from a friend of mine with a wrap shop that is certified with Xpel now. I would recommend this, no doubt, once the paint has cured long enough and it is safe to apply the film.

After you do that, find a skilled, experienced detailer that can apply a CQuartz coating to the car. It will not be as cheap as a normal wax but the return on the investment is so worth it.

I have it on my Z, applied by Jason's Pro Detail in Northwest Arkansas, and I love it. Cleaning the car is a breeze now, the car stays clean longer, the repellency is incredible, and I have not hand dried the car once since it has been completed. (Bye-bye swirl marks.)

That fresh paint deserves to be protected and look pristine for years to come, now that you've done it! :tup:

No swirls? Will this take off the paint when you remove it?

When the car was buffed and corrected before the coating was applied, existing swirls and micro-scratches were removed. The coating, now, makes it much harder to lightly scratch the paint and get swirls. Now that I do not have to hand dry the car, that helps a ton with the swirling.

The coating does not get removed. It's applied and said to last for a couple of years at least. It's not like a vinyl where it will discolor and need replaced. Only thing I can think of is the car may need to be waxed or treated with a solvent that goes well with the CQuartz coating 2-4 times a year, maybe, to keep maximum shine.

Wow that's amazing! Did you have your whole car done? Did it cost a lot?
