Thanks to whoever is following..keeps me motivated. Very impressed with the Gloss Coat, swear my wheels have been getting glossier by the day and I decided to get some Opti-Seal just to see how it performs on glass. I know Yvan promotes it as a glass cleaner. Next week I'll be tackling my car: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis94 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Finished my car today with Gloss Coat! Turned out awesome. Did something different this time and polished multiple panels with Hyper Polish before going back to wipe off. I feel like you could polish the entire car and have zero issues removing the polish. First picture is prior to polishing, can see all the defects on the hood. Remaining pictures are the result (don't mind the dirty windows): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Looks good optimum spray polish is so easy to use I did one or two panels on my honda element before wiping mainly to see how I was doing ...enjoyable process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heijneker Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Looking very nice Travis! That Fusion is also sold here in Europe, under the name "Mondeo", but not as a a. I don't think we get that colour though, which you have seem to gotten very nice! Looking very good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis94 Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Thank you Habs and Heijneker! Realized I induced some scratches on the door pillars during the prep wipedown 😕 but since it's a daily driver I don't plan on fixing it. Should've done a 2-step correction but looks good to me! Still have about 9cc left in the syringe so not sure what's coming next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis94 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 Got some nice beading shots today out in the rain. The truck has been driven 200 miles since the application and hasn't been washed. My car has been garaged since I applied Gloss Coat. Some of the nicest beading I've seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heijneker Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 That sure is some very nice beading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis94 Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 So I had to redo my hood because some blemishes (I think they were water spots) and a gnarly scratch were driving me crazy. Used Meguiar's Compound then Hyper-Polish. Also did my cousin's Fusion with help from her husband. Wasn't going for perfection, but the metallic flake POPPED after applying Gloss Coat.

Ozzcaddy Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 What does your Dad think of his truck now, after detailing and applying a coating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He appreciated it for sure, but I don't think he can tell a difference....doesn't have that detailer mentality I guess 😂 He is amazed by the ease of washing though.
