Cool man. Car looks great

 

looks damn good! nice thread!

 

now come and do my car lol

 

Your front bumper looks immaculate, you would never even know it's repainted. Are you going to use anything special on the front bumper once the paint is finished gassing?

I've actually applied opti-pro to it. Opti-coat will allow the paint to gas where as other coatings like 22ple, cquartz, gtechniq, will not.

My grandpa is absolutely amazing at painting. No orange peel but I know for a fact there is a good amount of clear on it. Had to repaint. This front bumper used to be green, then red, now screaming yellow!

Thanks guys!

 

Looks good man!

I definitely wanna pick up CQuk. I need to put a big order in.

Bumper looks great man. Makin me really miss my mach. ONE DAY, ill get a mustang again, probably this spring. lol

 

Thanks!

I looked into that fly by 30 but the install processes seemed way to much of a pita compared to others. The GTechniq G1 was easy or if went with G5 it's even easier but only 6 month vs 2years

Yeah, the sheeting should be different on the two though but we shall see. I haven't used g1 glass but I will tell you I'll go through the pita install if it sheets water while driving better. Aquapel sheets A LOT better than opt-glass pro for example.

Nice thanks for sharing I am sure it will hold up for over a year. I had the first version of Cquartz that Carpro came up with a few years ago, applied to my girlfriends Scion TC and it lasted 14 months before it failed. Washes were around every month or so, not near as often I wanted but I did it when time was available. Reload was applied only twice in the 14 months that I had it on. I have to say it held up well through for the first year beading and sheeting was always evident when it was washed or would rain. The last two months was when I could tell that the protection started to fade. It now only has Wolf Chemicals Shine & Seal I am going to apply 2 coats the Bodywrap to it next week after the wash since I still have about a 1/4 of the bottle left. I have seen good protection with Bodywrap for at least 8 to 9 month when I had it on the Mach 1 before it started to fail. As for the Mach 1 I am going to go over it with the Rupes LHR15ES and some uber blues with Scholl Concepts S40 then apply 22ple Professional to it. I still have around 75% of the 50ml bottle left that I have yet to use. It is by far the easiest coating I have applied when compared to Cquartz, Bodywrap and Opticoat V2. When you get a chance you should try it out. I have really liked applying and testing the coatings that have come out these past years. I hope you will keep us updated on how it holds up. How do you like the LHR75 I have been undecided on whether to pick that up or just order the mini groits, I have my air compressor so for me its just about justifying the price for it over the mini griots

Thanks man, no problem. That's good to hear. Cquartz UK is supposed to be a tad easier to use and deals with colder application a little better and is supposed to add more gloss than cquartz.

I've used Opti-pro, opti-v2, 22ple, cquartz uk and gloss/lens coatings. 22ple is stupid easy to use. Cquartz uk was as well.

I absolutely love my lhr75. I have never used a gg 3" but I'd buy this rupes over and over and over. Love the thing to death and if you don't have to buy an air compressor it's a must IMO. I wish you were around here, I'd let you use it so you don't spend your money on something you may not love but it's 100x better than putting a 3" bp on a gg 6".

Im either going with G1 or Carpro reload for my glass. The only reason im considering going with reload is that im gonna get it anyway to top the coating i choose. But g1 is pretty cheap and lasts so i may get that, we will see.

Still deciding on what coating to throw on my vehicles, Im leaning toward CQuk topped with Reload since the application on both is very easy and reload is a really versatile product.

G5 is only a tad more at DC price over G1. G5 is a 100ml vs 15ml G1. 1 last longer but G5 will give you 6months of durability and you will have a TON left over to do the car many times. If i woulda realized G5 was so cheap at time I was in store buying I thought it was like double price I would have purchased it. As its a more bang for buck easier to apply and almost same price. reload does a good job on windows at first with beading and sheeting but the wipers wear it fast. I was using that alot in the beginning if you see a decent amount of rain you will probably get 2weeks before you see it start to fade

 

Noted, still gonna pick up reload for paint. But probably go with Gtechniq for Glass.
