7-8min. after applying them.




Also, you see those scuff marks on the black plastic running board?I’m not completely sure but it’s possible I may have caused them. Could’ve been the vacuum hose… I know, I feel terrible. I did a test spot over a few of the marks on the other side with a permanent marker and so far it’s passing the eye test. I’m leaning towards doing them all.
Real world risks you run into sometimes. This is a rarity, but ya gotta improvise.

It looks like crap right now because I haven’t started on the chrome & plastic trim or the tires yet.

Both are good results, gents!

Hard to get good photos of this...

Here's the before and after. 3 scrub downs, followed by 25% alcohol wipe down, and application (1 coat) of DLux. Tried a regular ceramic, no discernable difference.

I think may be too a&* retentive; I have much more respect for you all making a living doing this


Before (definitely didn't look as gray as that in real life, compared to the after photo):

Also...very very difficult to get a representative photo of what I was seeing. I am happy with the results, and will heed the 6 month regiment. The fender flares, front cowling, and door handles were a lot easier; they do not have as deep a dimple pattern as the front and rear bumpers.

Nice results. What method ended up working for you.

Mentioned it in the thread with pictures...3 scrubs with APC, followed by 25% IPA wipedown, and coat of DLux.

Didn't want to go with Solution Finish...several threads here in the past mentioned splotchiness after already applied coating, and I couldn't convince my better half I needed it
