The car was coated with CQuartz after finish paint correction, during this process no pic was shooted. Until the next morning the vehicle was taken out the garage. Note reflections

Amazing work Javier! What did you use on the wheel wells? I actually just picked up some Fixer and from the looks of your pics, I can't wait to try it out!

James, thank you for your comment. On the wheel wells I used a local production product, but is very like CG Bare Bones its finish is similar. Fixer is an easy product to use with great results, you will not regret using it. :xyxthumbs:

Thank you, the rims and wheel wells were treated using Carpro IronX and on the wheel well finish I used a local production product, but is very like CG Bare Bones undercarriage spray
