The car was coated with CQuartz after finish paint correction, during this process no pic was shooted. Until the next morning the vehicle was taken out the garage. Note reflections

Special thanks to Wills Windows and Wheels Detailing - Arizona's Premier Auto Detailers - for tips and tricks CQuartz application and cure time.

This project takes two days and a total of 21 hours. Any comments are welcome
 
Amazing work Javier! What did you use on the wheel wells? I actually just picked up some Fixer and from the looks of your pics, I can't wait to try it out!
 
Nice!!!! What did you use to knock off the break dust of the rims? Also for the wheel wells.

James, thank you for your comment. On the wheel wells I used a local production product, but is very like CG Bare Bones its finish is similar. Fixer is an easy product to use with great results, you will not regret using it. :xyxthumbs:

Thank you, the rims and wheel wells were treated using Carpro IronX and on the wheel well finish I used a local production product, but is very like CG Bare Bones undercarriage spray

I have the CG bare bones undercarriage spray but still haven't used it
 
Amazing transformation! That blue paint screams with vibrancy now! You need sunglasses to look at it! Well done Javier!

Thanks Mike for your comments, the results are outstanding. :dblthumb2:
 
AWESOME...thats all i can say. Those after shots of the side of the car just looked dripping wet...great job man for real.

Wheels off and all, i loved that as well. I will add, if you enjoy using the flex, you really may want to give Kevin Brown a call ( buffdaddy.com) and talk to him about the Rupes 21....my flex has not been touched since i got one :)

Again, great work and thanks so much for remembering to send me the link! Keep it up.
 
I think it's time to try it.

Yeah I had a new bottle until my brother spilled half the bottle in the carpet.......I need to diluted and test it out on my brothers 2008 Mustang GT aka "Pegasus"
