i never did get to post pictures of my car since i have gotten it yet so here is a great excuse to.

a couple of things that stick out of my mind...
it was hard as hell to see where to polish off the residue on a white car and i should've definitely used a spray bottle to apply the hard body to waste less.

i know it doesn't "pop" as much as it would on a darker color but it is still mighty slick and shiny

Car looks great! Nice pics. Will have to look into that product.

Wow your car looks great. What was the stuff that you used and how would you rate it?

Does this stuff repel water? Given all the rain we've had in LA this weekend...

LexusVet

Car looks amazing great backdrop. I was planing on using that product also when I got my car also a starfire pearl. Any other tips you can give me? Did you do anything to prep first? How may coats? What number tint is that?

most of your questions are answered in this previous thread:

I have the exact car on order and am waiting for DD to get rim shield in stock so I can order Hard Body also. I was wondering all the same questions. Did you you only 1 coat? Looks great, love the Starfire Pearl.

there are 2 coats on there right now. need to dedicate another day to add 2 more ideally. it does not have rim shield on it yet since DD has been out of stock for awhile.

i really like the ease of use with the product and the shorter cure time compared to 22ple. i did not have to use any special motorized equipment other than my 2 hands. having a white car is much more forgiving if i missed a spot as well.

if you have the time, search through the previous thread for more answers

nice... you can definitely tell the difference, you did a good job. now remember that you can layer it. the key is to maintain it with the wolfs Nano Shampoo and the wolfs QD... the QD you'll only need once or twice a month.

you know where i can pick up any? DD has been completely out of both for a little while now...

I hope you went with the Cabernet interior. SFP and Cab is the best looking combo in the F-Sport IMO.

these products come from Budapest, and Phil sells out fast. put you name on the waiting list. but for now you can use the Lusso Oro, or the Auto Finesse Lather, they're both mild shampoos and won't degrade the HB. for a QD, you can get the aquartz reload (you have to dilute the hell out of it because it streaks). or the Nano Hydro Express. you'll be fine with any of these. if you find the HB beading diminishing somewhat, then put on another layer. that's what i love about HB.

i'm going to have to correct you young man... it's called Syd's Auto Spa
