2. Used my DA orbiter to correct the swirls in the paint.
3. Applied two coats of Carpro Quartz.

Here are a few close ups.
Looks pretty damned glossy! What were your reason for going with the Carpro Quartz? In one of the reviews, they said to use their wash product too, makes beading more effective.
Used CK 3.0 on mine . Did myself turned out great. Then again I am comfortable with detailing my own car. It is realistically a 12-18 month protection. I maintenance wash once a week using CarPro reset which is their car wash
PS Graphine coatings are soon to replace ceramics . They are as prone to water spots like ceramic coatings. A few YouTube videos out there on the new graphine coatings
