2015 Scion FRS Firestorm Red Detailed

[staro0989]

I purchased this car new at the end of July and I had a chance to detail it properly. It currently has 3600 miles and it is quite a blast to drive considering it doesn't have plenty of power. The paint finish had many swirls from when I purchased it, so my goal was to remove a majority of them. I am very satisfied with the results. This was also the first time ever using any type of coating.

Amazing job with your first time applying a coating! I'm glad you removed all of the defects before applying the Duragloss Coating. How long have you had the coating on the paint now? Your first maintenance wash will be fun

Thanks for the compliments! I'm assuming the car was on the lot for about a year before I purchased it which may explain all the swirls.

Thanks! I applied the coating on Wednesday afternoon. It already rained, so the the beautiful finish only lasted a short time.
