Great shots! FAP is a killer color, especially when nice and shiny like yours.

Nice... that 5 day wait is going to seem like forever. I didn't even wash mine for the 5 days. She was dusty as hell

Thanks Sydtoosic for pioneer testing all the coating application.

It took me 3 hours for car wash & details, 4-5 hours for prep the paint and an hour for 22ple application. Still have 2/3 left of the 50ml bottle. Will do the van next month.

I got the minivan for daily drive so the GS can sit tight in the garage.

See the contrast of how dirty my van. (X'mas trip to Lake Tahoe)

you're welcome excite. that second pic makes you want to bite the car because it looks like it's made of chocolate . 5K miles/13 months. that's great. i see you live on a cul-de-sac, i'm trying to find a home on a cul-de-sac. the van looks nice and clean. i don't know if you'll be able to do the van with the 22PLE you have left. you should add a second coat to the GS for even coverage.

Looking good! It will look even better after complete cure. IMO all dark colored GS's should get this or OC coating. It really transforms the color. And yes, thanks to mR Syd for pioneering these stuff.
I saw a black van like yours yesterday. It looks like it got some coating too. Freaking smooth and shiny.

Looks spotless. Still my fav color but you actually see the true beauty of it on sunny day.
