2016 Sonata with Feynlab Ceramic

[richy]

Hurray!! My first job for the season. I was looking forward to jumping back in with both feet. I'm very excited to be offering Feynlab coatings now! They have 2 self healing coatings that are applied by hand..an industry first! For this job, I was using the less expensive Ceramic coating. Here is the car as it arrived to me:

First up was to clean the wheels. The wells were cleaned with LA Totally Awesome. The barrels were first cleaned by a wheel acid called BAM and subsequently with Zep Citrus. The tires were cleaned with Zep 505.

The vehicle was then rinsed off and I liberally applied IronX spray to it, followed by IronX paste on an Incredimitt. Here's IronX spray doing its thing:

That was then followed by a wash with Megs HW. The car was then brought inside and it was then clayed using a clay towel and Feynlab Prime as lube. That was followed by ONR. Once dried off it was time to polish the paint. It was only booked for a one stage correction, however the customer is a repeat customer of mine and even though it's his girlfriend's car, I ended up doing a compound stage on the hood too because it needed it. (She uses automatic car washes). The compound stage was done with Megs M100 + Flex 3401 + black 3D wool pad. The polishing stage that followed that and was used for the rest of the car was 3401 + M205 + yellow B/S pad. I tried a few different things out, but this worked the best. It's very often what I use for a one step.

The paint was then wiped down with Eraser and then coated with Feynlab's Ceramic. The paint, head, tail lights and side and rear glass were all coated with it. I used Fly-by-30 on the windshield and the wheel faces were coated with DLux. The tires were shot with Opti Bond using an air gun. 10 hours later, here we go:

Thanks for looking. It's been a long winter for me even though the weather was not terrible. Lots of changes at work, etc, but now I can get back in my groove!

I know it's hard to capture in a photo but the flake in the paint just came alive after your hard work. Exemplary as always.

Thanks Rick! I always use manual focus to capture defects and flake.

Bob, I'm not sure your post will be enjoyed by AG. If people want to google what I used, they can. Until and unless AG carries their products, just a mere mention of it is all I want to do so as to not upset the apple cart. (I do share your enthusiasm with their line however).

Since the mentioning of it was the main gist
of your thread-starter's title...I'm sure hoping
that AG doesn't mind the essence of my post.

I do!!! Thanks buddy! I take the winters off detailing, although I did go to Toronto in February to get trained on using the Feynlab self healing coatings. Otherwise I give my body a break. We've changed our shifts at work to 12 hours too, so that's taken some time to get used to for an old man like me, LOL.
