Yep. I went with meguiar's pro series. Went on great and glossed the crap out of the paint. Looks awesome, nice job!

Looks great. Did you have to do paint correction prior to the coating?

I did. I bought it in February right before a snow storm and drove it around for a month prior to doing it. I notice in that short time the section under the tail lights were getting scuffed up really bad from road debris. So corrected there and minor scratches that I seen from at the dealer. It wasn’t bad but noticeable. I also put the splash guards on to help protect the paint from road debris.
In all honesty I actually haven’t drove it since.

Thanks guys! I try to keep it nice. I’m very particular about how my vehicles look.

Well I'd say you took care of it. I have two coats on mine now and I sincerely dont see as many bug splats and even dust seems to be minimal. The surface is incredibly smooth. I didn't need any paint correction, the surface was spotless and I coated early enough. Winter here will be the true test.

For sure. I might go get it under coated or do it myself. Maybe a spray on Bedliner would be better?

Yeah not a bad point. May have to look into that myself.

Por 15 makes really good products. I used it on my spitfire both for the frame and gas tank. So I might use that instead. But if I off-road it might not hold up to that. Spitfire isn’t going off-road for sure.

Did you put it on the windows, trim, and lights as well?

Yes I did, also did the rims. Adam’s can go on everything. They also encourage that when you put it on you windows you do it to the blades as well. They said it squeaks and jumps if you don’t.

I tried that product the last coat and I am happy with that as well.

I'm gonna give Mequiars a try this weekend. The ceramic wax and detailer. Not gonna do the paint correction.

I'm gonna try Fluid Film for undercoating. Not sure about that spray on bedliner type stuff, as I've heard that if it develops a tear or hole, water/moisture/salt can get into it and then it's trapped inside.
