I picked up the DP Coating kit last week and decided to try it out first on a buddy's Camaro ZL1. I failed miserably at getting a lot of pics of the car and there are virtually no before pics. Not to mention they are cell phone pics. We have all seen a dirty car and can imagine what it looked like before (bugs, tar, general dirt/dustiness). The car is new so the paint was not in bad condition...light swirls from the dealership, no RIDS. We were not going for full correction as it is a daily driver. There was some defect removal, but this clear is rock hard and will take at least a full compounding step to get it defect free. Just wanted to amp up the gloss and put some shine on this ride.

Products Used:
Dawn wash
Bug Sponge
DP Clay
Mequiar's Last Touch Detail Spray (clay lube)
M205/white pad
Optimum Metal Polish
DP Glass Restorer
Griot's Pre-Wax Cleanser
Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner
Daytona Wheel Brush
DP Paint Coating
DP Wheel Coating
Sonus Cockpit Detail Spray

This was after washing...

My apologies for the lack of pics. My next write up I will try and include more before/after pics.

Suburban Shine is the working name of the business I am in the process starting.

Let me know what you think.
 
Sweet Ride, looks great. I like the one in the garage too!!
 
I can't believe I forgot this, but the car won a trophy at a car show the day after detailing it.

Thanks!! I may get the chance to work on that one also. Would be my first single stage paint job.

The trophy is a great plus!! I did single stage paint on a Toyota. I used UPGP for an LSP and it looked great!! I went over the car with a rotary and wool and it cut a huge amount of time off the job.
