The car is done. For right now I have to post pics from inside my garage because the coating is still "gummy" and needs time to cure. Once I pull it out into the sun I will post additional pics. From what I understand this coating gets even shiner as the curing process progresses.

Here is another pic. That is the fixture from my garage door opener you are seeing reflected in the hood of my car. And those wood planks are on the roof of the inside of my garage.

nice... i like. how long after he was done did you take delivery of the car? i'm asking because the car was not supposed to be exposed to the elements for 8 to 12 hrs. after the 22PLE application, and no washy washy for 5 days (cure time for 22PLE to completely harden). it looks great and 5 days from now it will look even better. oh, did you get the 22PLE coating for your wheels?

I got the car on June 29th. The car is at my house. The detailer came to my house and the car isn't going anywhere until Monday when I go to work. It's a mobile detailer that did the job- he came to my home.

cool... i've always wondered about mobile detailers, have always been tempted but Detailers Domain was my detailer of choice. i'm in Georgia now so i'll have to use what i've learned from DD. glad everything worked out well for you. hope you've got some good shades because 5 days from now you're going to need them when you go out to your car.

I am usually very wary of mobile detailers too. But this guy is not your average detailer. Just check his website or better yet check his Facebook Page for the cars he does on a daily basis. Unbelievable. SuperiorShine.com here in Arcadia, CA.

He is the real deal!!

I am guessing you don't have a clear bra. I am very curious about getting this type of detailing but I am going to get a clear bra. I think there would be a more noticeable difference in the shine where the bra is installed.

Hi. No clear bra. I am really hesitant about putting it on a black car. Just don't like the lines if its not done right.
