You know what they say... if you don't have haters, you must not be doing it right. :icon23:

Just had the product installed over the weekend by a professional in my area. I dropped it off on Saturday and got it back last night(didn't work on it on the 4th). Once he sends me the pic's I will post them.

He had to correct a few minor defects from where the dealer tried to do something to the car. But he said overall the condition of the paint was pretty good and didn't have to do a ton of work.

Overall I am very impressed with the way it currently looks. From what I have read it gets better as it cures so we will see. Happy to have my car back and love the way it looks.

If no one has any objections I can keep posting updates every few months or so.

Looks great but nothing a good polish and wax can accomplish.

Keep in mind this is a very long lasting sealant, something a good wax can't accomplish. Plus, with the known softness of the Z's clearcoat, this looks like it might be a good solution to that issue.

Not to mention the product was applied to the windows, plastic parts, and the parts in the engine bay. The plastic piece between the door windows and the back window was not protected very well. What ever the dealer tried to do when preparing it for my delivery put swirl marks in it. Once that was fixed he put the coating on those parts as well.

Who said it was cheap? Clear-bras aren't cheap either but I think they are good value for the protection you get. :tiphat:

Will this be enough to do the whole car?

It should be enough for several cars. I wouldn't be applying this stuff though unless you have polished all the scratches and imperfections out of your car. This stuff is permanent and once you put it on it will be difficult to remove. Like was said in another post, If you seal in a paint flaw with a coating you are going to be working double time to remove it or waiting a very long time until that coating is worn away. Don't know which would be agonizing, waiting for the coating to wear away(which I don't think would happen for years) or carefully compounding the coating and paint defect/flaw away then trying to re-coat the spot
