I agree with JDR, i've only seen a USB GSF, otherwise it's a unicorn over here.. i actually wanted to get one. Seems more common in the states, im guessing it's the larger population. Congrats.
Don't need one, just get the entire front end wrapped in xpel ultimate professionally and ceramic coat the entire car yourself. Then your paint will be protected from the elements. Also don't forget to paint correct the car before doing this, even new cars are covered in swirl marks.
Im happy to say after a brief experience in a UX200 I’m back in a 2016 GS350.
I’ve been busy this week, ordered Grom Vline Lite, Tanabe Springs, and Vossen HF-2 in Gloss Black.
I don’t know who used to own this car but thanks for taking good care of her.
Let me just start by saying congrats. That is my favourite colour and if they had it in 2015 i would have opted for that in a heartbeat. Enjoy and please take care of that beauty.
I honestly thought this was a parking tutorial on how to "back-in" a GS. I'd have to give a 7/10 for that back-in parking job.
Joking aside - that color is truly unique and makes the car pop. I've never seen one in Canada, I think they don't offer it here. Congrats on the purchase!
Thanks for the recommendation - I'm going to add ceramic coating next on the list of ToDo's
I use to wax the car, ceramic coating is much better because it lasts a couple years, and more resistant to scratching. Just make sure you prep/clean the car properly before applying the ceramic coating otherwise you will seal a smudge under the ceramic coating and the only way to take it off is to buff or wet sand.

They do offer it here in Canada at least in Ontario from what i've seen. A few streets down from me someone has one and I've seen one at the dealership as well.
Makes sense to do that. A little expensive for my taste. I paid $75 for a claybar and a 6 month ceramic. For the 5 year job they wanted $1500.
The color is one of the best! Nice car!
I doubt the 6 month treatment was a real ceramic coating. Probably something like those hybrid silica infused ceramic sprays, which are still great but won't last years. I gave personally used the Last Coat coating and it's been fantastic. Supposed to last up to around 6 months and is very durable against the elements. I have also applied to my windows with great success.

$1500 is a rip off. I paid $275 to have the car professionally buff/polished. Then I prepped and ceramic coated the car myself in one day. Maybe put 4-5 hours into it myself. The ceramic coating itself was only $150 and you can probably do at least 5 cars with one bottle.

Depends on the paint condition if you ask me and not to get to off topic, but the cheapest quote I got for a 3-stage paint correction and CQuartz Finest coating was $1600. Then again, mine is black and looked like someone took a wool pad to it with all the swirls. Needless to say I spent more time than I care to disclose correcting it myself and adding the coating. Happy I did it, but it sucked. Back on topic, congrats OP!!!! Beautiful color.
