Must be nice not to care about swirl marks and such when one has a wrap aye? Bonus being, fresh paint still under there when removed.

Default Xpel Ultimate & C Quartz Finest

Picked up the Z from having the Xpel and C Quartz application done.
Sorry for lousy IPod photo. You just can't see how glossy the finish really is.
The Xpel has some new formula of gloss coat on top of it and the C Quartz has 'Reload' applied.
Made it home and inside without hitting any rain. Now it's a week before I can wash it with any soap. 104

It was pretty expensive but my Z is the 1st car I've bought in 22 years. I went 15 years without a car since I sold the last one I had. I wanted a toy. The PITA Harleys are all gone
I don't need a daily driver where I live and work so it sits parked up to a week at a time and I'll be putting it away for the winter in a few weeks until April. Even though I only drive it in decent weather (I won't take it out if its raining) and however slim the odds are, I'd be pretty pissed if I picked up even one rock chip. This is how I justified the cost. It's pretty expensive to redo the paint on the front with PW.
I had Xpel put on the front, the front fenders, the full hood, the A pillars, rockers, headlamps, side mirrors and a strip behind the rear wheel well.
C Quartz Finest went on the rest of the car including the insides and outsides of the wheels. The car had no protection on it since new so it just had to be washed, decontaminated and the front corrected to prep for the Xpel.
I can hit it with water in the first week, but no soap.
I was told to give the Xpel a few days before I really look it over critically, and to wait until I wash it once to see what the C Quartz will ultimately look like.
Now it's time to drop it on Swifts.
