First time doing it, pretty straightforward. Assuming you can't see how nice it came out from the pictures, but I'm pretty happy.

My steps were:
- Wash and dry overnight
- Clay bar'd the car
- Polished with BOSS from Griots
- Panel wiped with Gtechniq Panel Wipe
- Ceramic coat with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light
- Hydrophobic coat with Gtechniq EXOv4

Whole process took me probably about 8 hours in total from wash the night before to completion today.
Looking sharp! I'll be doing the same in a.month or so (when my car finally arrives home), albeit with CarPro products. I typically apply 2-3 layers of CQuartz, plus a sacrificial layer of paint sealant. But this time I'm using CQuartz Lite as the top layer.

Detailer in Seattle wants 12k for full body PPF. They do great work though.
Go to Portland, lol. Who is it?

Nice!

Can't wait to see how the steering wheel turns out. I've been on the fence about getting one with a Twilight Purple center stripe.

I already ordered the painted engine cover. 😂

It's actually just the oem blue stripe. Dylan over there sent me multiple photos of the wheel against a Mexico blue paint sample as well as a sample of webbing material for the seat belts I'm going to order once available. It was pretty spot on!

Dude the wheel w a purple stripe would look so awesome!! Do it! I was quoted $190 to change the stripe color.

Lol! He told me there was a twilight purple one they're working on too. Mentioned the purple and mine would go up on the website once finished. I knew it had to be yours! Lol. We're killing it man. Haha. 😂

Ugh, so conflicted on the steering wheel. Lol.

Interested to see how the seat belts turn out for you as well. I'm not sure anything other than the stock ones with the M stripes would go well with my Silverstone interior.

The steering wheel would be a yes from me, if you could retain the heating function. But since you cant, it a no-go, for me.

Practically all of my purchases have been from IND. Everything I mentioned on my last post/ purchase was from them.
The front carbon splitter I added to my build so my car will come with it on (it's a port installed option). IND carry's it though!
