Well needed paint correction and CQuartz application...
#16
I can't believe that the dealer delivered it in such bad shape. They must have put a newbie on this to scratch the paint so badly. It looks like they picked up a rag from off the ground and just started washing the car with it.
I am glad my car doesn't have this problem. Actually it has the best finish I've seen on a new car. I will be using Zaino products to keep it that way as I have always had good results with their waxes and sealants.
Good luck with your car as it does look great!

I put CQuartz on my GS and love it. Be sure to use a proper, multiple bucket wash technique, and you should be good to go.

There is no such thing as no swirls on the paint of any car.. All cars have it... Just some colors of the cars hide it better then others. Also paint correcting is a myth. Its basically wet sanding the paint which in fact destroys the paint even more by sanding out the top layer... Just don't buy a black car if you are OCD about swirls....

I have OptiCoat on my RX (and previous IS) and CQuartz on my GS.
I have a slight preference towards CQuartz. I find it leaves the surface a bit smoother and with slightly better gloss. I still like OptiCoat, but the surface is slightly less slick. It has held up very well, though.
I am a firm believer in paint coatings. Both OptiCoat and CQuartz are great, in my opinion.
