This car actually came home to my garage in late January, but weather and life meant it saw nothing but frequent washes and an application of Griots 3 in 1 sealant for protection until time allowed for a proper detail job. Finally, Memorial Day weekend provided the opportunity I needed.

For this job I ran a standard detailing process.
1. Washed with Meguiars Hyperwash
2. Synthetic clay with the Blackfire clay mitt
3. Polish
4. Panel wipe with CarPro Eraser
5. Coated with Gyeon Pure Evo

Polishing the car was uneventful. The dealership respected my wishes to not prep the car, so the only damage needing correction was the few swirls installed by the attendants caring for cars at the annual auto show before I took delivery. For the machine polishing I started out with SONAX 04/06 but quickly found it didn't have enough cut to pull off a one-step job like I wanted. It created good gloss, but even with a medium polishing pad I wasn't getting as much correction.ped. Griots BOSS Finishing Cream was my next choice and it worked great. Despite the car still being pretty new, polishing the paint made it noticeably shinier.

Gyeon Pure Evo went on with little drama and a pretty long flash time. In fact, on a car this small, it was almost too long. At one point I found myself with most of the passenger side covered and I was waiting around for the coating to flash. Once flashed removal was pretty easy; a touch more difficult and grabby than CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0, but not difficult by any measure.

When I was first finished I liked the results, but was a little disappointed. It didn't look that much different than when I was done polishing. A couple hours later I checked on it and noticed a bit more gloss. Couple hours later...a bit more. When I checked in on it the next morning; WOW! The dipped in glass look I was after was in full effect. I know some people feel nothing really changes as a coating cures, but I don't agree. I think both CQUK and now Pure Evo both improve as it cures. If you don't agree, I'm willing to duel at dawn with pool noodles to defend my honor.

Enough talking, you all came here for the pictures. Enjoy!
