I was recently honored with a client of mine coming back for the second time this year to have his 2018 Subaru STI corrected & coated with CQuartz Professional.
He had his 2012 STI completed earlier this year, and when he traded it in for a new one - he came straight in to get worked on.

Here we see the pre-existing condition of the vehicle. It was difficult getting the light in the right spot to show the damage.
For a new vehicle, there was an excessive amount of light swirling, some minor RIDS, and lots of contamination.

The results after the compounding & polishing:

Then came the CQuartz Professional!

The end result was great. The winter wheels (on the car) received Hydro2, and the summer wheels - which were included off the car - were coated with CQuartz Professional.
Glass was all sealed with Reload.

Thanks for checking out my thread! It was a fantastic car to work on, and I've grown a much greater appreciation for this platform.
Cheers everyone!
