CQuartz Finest - On Raven black FRS (Pic Heavy)

First and foremost, I would like to clarify that this is mainly a review of an AMAZING job by Windows and Wheels Auto Detailing LLC here in Arizona and the CQuartz Finest paint protector.

At first I wanted to have my car paint corrected and have Opti-Coat Pro. There are a few of us here in Arizona that have this through Windows and Wheels Auto Detailing. Some have told me that they are perfectionist which if you love your car as much as I do, then this is a great sign that results will be very optimistic.

I planned on writing a huge wall of text but a picture says a thousand words so here is a video and a load of pictures and let your eyes be amazed

A detailed write up is located here: http://www.autopia.org/forum/click-b...ml#post1548893

And it's finally done just in time for Hot Import Nights!

I am definitely going to call them up and have them hook my BRZ up. It's pretty much brand new, but black is so easy to mess up. It got some swirls because I couldn't catch the dealer quick enough to keep them from doing an initial wash. I'm sure my first wash (uneducated) and second wash (poorly executed two-bucket) didn't help much either.

It's definitely worth the investment and going with them! Cleaning my car is so much easier and the black is a lot richer than before!

CQuartz finest actually makes dark colored cars really glossy especially if you pick black. It's 2 microns thicker and when it is applied, it's double layer. All my plastic non glossy parts are covered with CQuartz dlux as part of the service when getting finest. And the kicker is the 2 year warranty. CQuartz only allows quality detailers to apply the product to their customers so that's also a reassurance. The black coated with finest makes it so rich in color the pics doesn't justify.

Very resistant. I've had the car coated for a while now and still no scratches. Bugs fall right off from a pre rinse spray
