Americana Car Care Amerirocks compound on a Meguiar's 3" MF Cutting Pad via my Rupes LHR75E... lights were then washed, wiped down with Eraser, and then sealed with CarPro DLUX.

Yep, the paint was in overall good shape... as to be expected with a new car.

We were able to make some improvements though...













For protection, this car received 3 coats of CQuartz Finest on the paint, 1 coat of DLUX on the wheels and trim, 3 coats of CQuartz Forte on the windshield and 1 coat of Forte on the side windows. Yeah... it is protected. and now even glossier!


We bake each panel with IR Curing Lamps to accelerate the curing process and to promote higher gloss and surface hardness.



Even brand new trim can be improved with DLUX




Talk about gloss











Sorry for all the pics lol this was just a fun car to work on





In the end, we had about 16 hours of time into this new car prep. Turned out great
