Amazing! Imagine if you applied a glaze prior! Too much gloss!

IIRC, his car is coated with CQuartz Finest. I would not recommend attempting to use a glaze on top of a coating as you'll simply be hiding the wonderful properties of the coating... Reload is all you need (and you don't really even "need" that)

Scion FR-S RS1.0 - cleaned, corrected, and coated before this photo shoot. Not sure if I have more fun detailing or taking pictures afterwards

Clean black paint looks great regardless of what you slap on it after correction, you know that

The maintenance afterwards is what makes you want to rip your hair out.

Not the best quality just Iphone6 photo. Hard to capture silver without the right light and angle. But I'm happy with the outcome of the Beeds HD coating.
