Default Showed the GX some love

After 4 days playing in the snow, I spent some quality time with the big girl today. Washed and applied 3 coats of Graphene

Haha, I hope you enjoyed it and that you’re less sore from watching than I am from doing it.

Ha! Nice work. Spent Thursday doing the same. Went with two coats of Wolfgang Profi ceramic coating after a bath and polish.

the most difficult and time consuming part is the prep work….washing, claying, polish out swirls, alcohol wipe down etc. The process of applying the ceramic in my opinion was easy, just need patience. I’m well versed in the prep work and having a brand new vehicle makes it much easier as well. From start to finish I completed my entire GX in about 5.5 hours which included one coat of ceramic. The ceramic I used was about $120 and it will do the whole car almost twice.

I’ll put this on my list to do as soon as mine arrives. Bribe my neighbor with a 6 pack to use his garage for half a day 😉
