2015 Scion FRS Firestorm Red Detailed

[staro0989]

I purchased this car new at the end of July and I had a chance to detail it properly. It currently has 3600 miles and it is quite a blast to drive considering it doesn't have plenty of power. The paint finish had many swirls from when I purchased it, so my goal was to remove a majority of them. I am very satisfied with the results. This was also the first time ever using any type of coating.

The GG6 is a great machine, I have an original 7424 still and I find this machine to be more comfy to operate. This is my first time using it after owning it for about 2 years.


Great work photography! That paint looks phenomenal.

Thank you! The photos look better than I expected!
