Here's a shot of mine from this afternoon while I was working at a customer's house. My car was washed the other day with ONR Rinseless Wash and then a layer of CarPro Reload for added protection on top of my coating. Only takes 30-40 minutes to do... can't beat it

Goooood lord, THAT SHINE ZACH! She's looking good! I did 20+ hours of just polishing on the IS350 before Wekfest here in Houston a few weekends ago.

I used Menzerna FG400 followed by Menzerna SF4500, which was promptly wiped down with CarPro Eraser. It was then topped with Chemical Guys EZ Creme Acrylic Glaze and BlackFire Wet Diamond. I worked in sections over a series of three days. Turned out to be about a 90% correction, which I am happy with... but it's all about to be undone anyways due to the car gettings body work done this year.

Don't mind the wheels... they were taken off after polishing to be washed inside and out and sealed.

Looks incredible... The guy that detailed my car before I took it today walked me through his process of compounding, then chemical guys acrylic glaze II, then a menzerna sealer topped with a carnuba he said he won't share the name of... I have to say it turned out great. I might be sold on dumping zaino as my "go to"

Thank you! It really is a process that people underestimate. It's very labor intensive and time consuming, but man it really is worth it. Detailing is a whole 'nother realm outside of modding and it can be just as expensive
