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.

Thanks for looking!
 
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 :)
 
Fantastic job. I am curious to see how the Duragloss Enviroshield holds up for you. Please post updates...
 
Brilliant!

looks great, amazing how swirled up that paint was for a 2015.

Nice work
Great clarity and reflection

Very nice work!

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.
