Default My GSF after Clear Bra and Ceramic Pro 9H

So I feel like Ive been posting too much about some negative experiences with my GSF so you guys are probably tired of me. Figured I'd actually post something positive. Absolutely love the car and have had a blast owning it this month month and a half. Full paint correction was done, boy did the dealer swirl up my car! Then full front clear bra, rocker panels, rear bumper, door cups and carbon fiber spoiler all covered in Xpel. It was then coated with 4 Coats of ceramic pro 9H one layer of ceramic pro light for gloss. Windows were also coated. Also had him do the full wheels and brake calipers for additional ease of cleaning. So far very impressed and love the clarity.

Looks super clean especially for this time of year in the northeast.

The GSF has it pros and cons when comparing to other vehicles in it's class, no doubt but I feel once people get over the car is NOT a race car, the pros shine pretty strong in my opinion.

At the end of the day the GSF is a Lexus and Lexus did not change any of it's core beliefs/practices or standards when producing the GSF.

Heck, we are lucky Lexus even gave/gives us IS, RC, and GS F's and I for one am very thankful.

man, the car looks amazing! The GS truly is a sexy car, I have the F-sport. I tell myself sometimes for the price range I might can an LS, but seeing these cars all done up just confirms the GS is a much sexier car!

Thanks all for the kind comments...

This was not cheap lol The clear bra alone was 2K but thats because I got quite a bit of protection.

Paint Correction and Ceramic Pro Gold package with Lifetime warranty $1,200 another $200 for the wheels and calipers to be coated.

All together this costed me $3,400, quite pricey but worth it in my opinion.

Sanford Auto Spa, up and coming place run by a young guy. But he does phenomenal work. Extreme attention to detail. He was working on a Ferrari when I picked up my car and has done several lambos too. Definitely someone I would recommend.. he knows what hes doing.

Thats a great price for what you got done. Other places charges more for that kind of service.

Damn man, the USB 2.0 along with what you did with it after just make it look amazingly clean. From looks alone, I'd say it was worth the money.
