Question to the group: Is it OK to post recommendations for vendors like Pearl requests above? If so, I will post it here - if not, I will PM Pearl.

Regarding the question about photo software, I did not use any software - I downloaded the pics from the vendor's facebook page, and clicked the button when posting to insert an image - and the pictures appeared in the sizes shown - perhaps it was just coincidence they turned out to be a good size...

 

Posting a vendor recommendation that you've used should be fine. It's only against the rules for the vendor to come here to try and solicit business without paying to be a forum sponsor.

 

Blk - Thanks for the info. The vendor we used for Ceramic Pro on my son's Tundra and my 2017 GS 350 is:

Internet Web Site: http://www.pristineautodetails.com/

The owner's name is Chad. Very knowledgeable guy, and a real perfectionist. I have no connection other than a satisfied customer. He is located in Nottingham, PA, just north of the Maryland border.

 

Thanks bt I just looked on their site. It seems as you say the owner is very meticulous about his work. If at all possible when you get your GS back, if we could meet up so I can take a look at the work they did, would be appreciated. Can be at a coffee shop or something and I can buy you a cup of joe for your troubles. :-) I see they have a picture and video your GS on their site too.

 

Pearl: Where in Maryland are you located? The plan is to pick the car up next Saturday, 26 August. I will be driving from PA down 95 South through Baltimore, continuing down 95 South to the 495 Beltway, and into Virginia. Is there some coffee shop along there somewhere we could meet?

 

I am in College Park not too far from the University of Maryland. But Saturday will be a busy day as both of my kids have soccer games that day. Not wanting to be a nuisance, but maybe in the evening or Sunday if possible or we can schedule another weekend if that particular one is no good. Thanks

 

Check out this video - this is my car that is also shown in the photo above in this thread.

 

bt car looks awesome! I'm sure you must be like a kid on Xmas eve right now...lol.

 

Pearl: You bet! I will take several pictures and will post, probably on Saturday!

 

Sounds good. Can't wait to see them! I will get with Chad to get mine done at some point.

 

Decided to go with Gtechniq CSL. Just need the houston weather to cooperate a bit...

 

@ PlatES300 I have seen great reviews on this. I think this is as good an any nano protection. Are you doing the entire process yourself? Wheels/Glass? Hope you take some before and after pictures so you can see what your progress and end results are.

 

Yes plan on doing this myself. Usually clay bar, M205 and I'm good to go. Once this hurricane blows over, I'll have time to test out this stuff.

 

I just applied serum light to my car. I did a full paint correction, clayed and degreased. I was very surprised how easy it went on and off and finish it left feels amazing. I few a question. How "swirl" resistant is this stuff? My main concern for doing it was when the winter comes, I use a car wash and don't want to have a car with swirls again.

 

Paint coatings do not prevent swirl marks. You must use the same care and caution with washing and drying as you do with an uncoated vehicle.
