I got this new (to me) 2014 Mazda 6 GT and it needed some paint correction. It had a lot of swirls from the previous owner. I also had bought the new BF Crystal Coat for this vehicle.
Products used:
First, let me introduce my new assistant, Mila. She is a ferocious guard dog, she let me know whenever a bird got too close to the garage.
I won't bore you with pictures of washing and "claying." I've been using the Nanoskin towel for awhile and I really like it. It gets the job done
As you can see, plenty of swirls.
The 105 was needed for the horizontal surfaces of the paint, they were more difficult to work with. The rest of the car got the Menz SI1500
I did the roof of the car from start to finish, claying, polishing, BF coating so I could have a good idea of what the finished product would look like. As you can see, the coating gives an awesome reflection
I also used the SI1500 on the painted door pillars.

My last step after all the coating was applied was to polish up my tail pipes. They were grungy looking and needed some shine as well.

After:
Now, for some reflection shots!
Mila standing produly by the finished product!
The next day we had some rain and I really like the way the water beads on the coating
I'm sure some of you may ask what I thought of the BF coating. It was very easy to work with. As with most products, a little goes a long way. The high spots were easy to knock down.
I also noticed that is the first product I've used where you can visually see where you have missed a spot. The wet look the coating creates makes it very easy to see if you missed a spot. I really like this and I was able to make sure I didn't miss anywhere.
