Unfortunately, I only have one before and after picture. I saved some time by only taking a few pictures during the process since the paint correction took longer than planned.
As mentioned before the M100 and M205 worked for me. You may want to purchase a few different types of pads to find your ideal setup.
Wow it cleaned up real well.. My car is definitely not that swirled up so it shouldn't take me too long for the paint correction
We had some crazy wind here in Southwestern Ontario today and there was dirt and gravel flying around everywhere.. somewhat of a sand storm like they have in Arizona.. I have family there and travel there quite often.. hearing all the sand hit my car was making me cringe on the way home from work!
I'm pulling the trigger on Crystal Serum Light and EXO v4 as the top coating due the current 15% off sell with free shipping through Detailed Image . On a different subject, I've been thinking about getting PPF for the front end ever since I purchased the vehicle a year ago due to it's the black color and relatively good condition. A few days ago, I managed to hit a tarp that just flew out of a truck two cars ahead of me. The tarp had metal rings which I believe caused the damage below. Total damage: small dent, factory PPF torn, and possibly paint damage. While I was getting a quote today for PFF is when the local Xpel installer and myself noticed the damage.
Here's my cost for Xpel Ultimate by an authorized installer: Remove factory PPF on hood and fenders, apply Ultimate to full hood, fenders, and headlights for $1,200, not including the recent hood damage.
Will post pictures after install with my initial impressions.

I went from XPEL ultimate to Suntek Ultra. Pretty significant cost reduction with similar properties. Good call on wrapping the headlights, it's a no brainer.
My Expel installer charged $1400 on my 18 GS. Nose, headlights,rockers,12 inches up the side of the doors & fenders,A pillars, roof section in front of sunroof, door handle cups,and side mirrors. Hood and fenders were already covered by 3M from Lexus. Very satisfied with the Expel and the gloss is amazing.
