So gorgeous. I ordered my opticoat and a couple car wash tools/shampoos and what not.

Can't wait to do mine. Hopefully Ill see results. But even if its a crappy job, at least the paint is protected.

All good. You don't need to do an extensive job like mine. Yes, at least the paint will be protected. ;)
