I'm not sure. I would say don't until you're 100% sure. go to detail forum or I can call Phil at DD and ask.

How much did this work cost? Please PM me.

I applied two coats to my LP F-Sport. Not surprising, it doesn't shine like Syd's Obsidian but it sure repels water. I went to wash it today and the water runs right off.

I have a feeling it may help avoid rock chips too.

Makes me want to trade for Obsidian.

talk about water running off... it was raining most of the day in N.Y.. here's a pic after the rain at night. don't forget to get that wofls nano QD and nano Shampoo.http://www.flickr.com/photos/76804690@N05/8104662890/http://www.flickr.com/photos/76804690@N05/8104662890/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/76804690@N05/, on Flickr

I put a coat of Meguiar's Gold Class over it and it shines like the heavens. The way the water beads up with the Hard Body alone is amazing. I could probably go through a hail storm now and not see any dents.

i chose not to put any wax over the HB. the nano QD has carnuba wax as an ingredient. if you get the wolfs nano QD be sure to wipe your car down 2x with an IPA before you apply the QD.

I have the same color and am getting the stuff you recommended. If mine doesn't come out this good, I'll send it in for refund

PS: One good looking GS you have there.

thanx bnlexus... i put on the last and final coat of HB this morning. i love this stuff and it's so easy to maintain. i have 6 coats on the car, ready for the winter. and i still have a little more than 3/4 of the bottle left. be sure to maintain it with the Wolfs Nano Shampoo and once or twice a month wipe her down with the Wolfs Nano Quick Detailer. pic from this morning after the last coat of HB.

Do you guys have a step by step procedure for applying wolfs hard body (wash the car before? after?) Also, how long after you got the car did you decide to seal it? I recently picked my car up two weeks ago, so I'm assuming the dealership waxed it before it left the lot.
