Lights, Camera, and can-lite filters on. Its going to take a little over 6 hours to coat this car!

Rain Glass coating. The most hydrophobic coating on the market. 140 degrees of contact angle. I personally, havent put it on a sheet of flat glass like displayed. But according to SGS Testing, it is confirmed.

All ready for pick up. A follow up detail and wash is included (after a week) for all vehicles we coat for a few reasons.

1. To ensure the coating performs well

2. Give customers adequate time to assess their finish on their own time

3. Demonstrate ease of maintenance to the customers

4. Allow the coating to fully cure

5. and pictures of course.... :dblthumb2:

Oh yeah the fun under the hood...

Holy cow! That looks amazing! When you were listing all the sanding grits, I was terrified due to the soft paint on the Black S2000 I recently did, but WOW! beautiful work, and beautiful car, and that supercharger really changes that engine bay! fantastic car!

Thank you!

This is an aftermarket paint job done by a local shop called SABS. One of the finest in the city that specializes in exotics.

This clear coat was deliberately sprayed heavy to handle our package so we had TONS of room to work with! Similar to the sound system we had painted as well.

Top job !

Did you used the same process for the headlights also !

Yeap, we coated the headlights as well.

Expensive product but the hardness factor would be nice. Do you do a yearly touch up?

Never need to, its permanent :) Its guaranteed to bead for the life of the paint. If not, its recoated at no charge.

It takes more time to vacuum the car than to wash it. I'll post some videos soon.

Excellent work on that Honda that color grey looks beautiful in the sun

[Sicoupe]

Some reflection shots. Beyond the gloss, this detail is meant to increase the CLARITY of the reflection (flat surface). The wash is next :)
