Maserati GT: XSXV Protection
 

Little happy hour tonight.. now its 3am cant sleep... didnt want to post another brz in the usual flavors so here's a one i just finished a few days ago lol

A long time friend and enthusiast gave me the opportunity to really take my time on this car. Giving time for sealants and permanent coatings to set up really well.

Keep in mind this vehicle has been in storage like this for almost a year. Pics might be too gruesome for many professionals here... even I have limits. :barf:

I also recommend going through this post with this song:

Go Dot - The Fragrance of Dark Coffee, Enjoy :happy0180:!

After applying cquartz procedure to the entire car, I went ahead and called it a day to give the coating a day to completely cure.

The next day power lock was applied and left 24 hours to cure. In the mean time I went ahead and started the details.
