After a year of purchasing products, I finally got the time to mess with my car. I'm very happy with how it turned out for being my first time actually trying. My biggest disappointment was the McKee 37 Paint Coating was bad, but that's probably my fault as it's been sitting on the shelf for almost a year, but yesterday was the first time I tried it. Luckily I had a little sealant left so it wasn't a total waste. I'll buy more in the Spring and try again since I want to see what ceramic coating is really like.

Harbor Freight DA
Meguiars 6.5" microfiber cutting pad with Megs Ultimate Compound
Meguiars 6.5" microfiber finishing pad with Carpro Essence
Topped with two coats of Blackfire Crystal Seal
Chemical Guys VRP on the tires

Leveled out some scratches (the pad is resting on the power cord)

Final result. Sun was going down and that's the best I could do as it's snowing right now.

Nice work! Like the before/after shots. Really shows what you accomplished. Nice! Oh...the hood looks a little 'cloudy', LOL!

And, man, that's some crazy change in weather in one day!

Looks real nice. Well done.
Thanks! There were a few scratches that needed wet sending, but it's a DD with 88k miles on it and not worth that level of effort.

Thank you as well! The change was more than I expected, so I was pleased! And that's Kansas weather for you! Sunny and 62 one day and then 20 and snowing the next... We've had three snowfalls this month.

Looks good man. Like stated before and after shots and the 50/50 tape shots are always my favorite.

Thanks! It's all covered in salt now...

Good news though! Talked with Nick McKee and he's going to send me another bottle of the paint coating in the Spring free of charge!
