I know I know no one is posting solid colors, but here is one more metallic 
I had to leave for vacation on Friday and wanted to throw some XMT180 on the hood, front end, and fenders before we left to check this new product out.
I just washed the car and the last thing on it was Souveran about 2 months ago and the beading was going away so the time was perfect. This vehicle is washed about every 3 days with rinseless DP4N1. I'm the only one who has ever washed too, so the plan was to test this during the trip and recoat the whole car once I got caught up for the week.
Application - I grabbed a yellow applicator from my AG Mega Applicator Kit and began to load up. I applied in "Stripes" and not circular. I wanted to go slow and I also was doing one panel at a time in the garage with a temp of about 70. I noticed after the smooth application this wax hazed pretty quick! I took my cobra indigo and remove the haze with no problem. I went ahead and "Noob'd" it up and loaded the carnuba on the pad and circular motioned it and waited for about 5 minutes to haze on the other side and with uneven amounts and heavy application I guess everyone can figure this out. (It dried hard as a rock and was hard to remove!) I just wanted to test, but make sure you lay it on light and you will have no problem full sun or no sun.
Next I stepped back and said DARN that is one slick glossy finish to just have one stepped a washed car?? This XMT180 was really well thought out carnuba for the money and what better follow up to 360! I have a few shots from the before trip in the garage and the after we return trip rinsed off....
I had to watch this car get tree-sapped on all weekend! We went through 4 hours of steady rain friday and then it sat under oaks all weekend
but after a quick jet spray and wipe down this car was looking just like we left Friday! Did I mention the hood was just as slick 
, honestly I think this going to be a new secret weapon for my detailing but thats between you guys and me.
I will add full car shots to this once I'm done but I'm on vacation till tomorrow here at the house so no detailing
Garage
Driveway full sun after return
