    My new car and Optimum Gloss-Coat teaser pic

    My 97 Civic didn`t last long as a daily driver as the transmission started to act up, so I sold it as-is. Now I`ve purchased a babied 2000 Mercury Sable LS The first thing I did was take it home for a quick wash and wax (Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo and BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection). The paint is in great condition but did have swirl marks that I wanted to remove.



    It was a "grandma" car with only 50k miles and in great condition. I love the color (Toreador Red Pearl Metallic) and it`s a comfy ride.

    Yesterday, I gave it a complete detail and applied Optimum Gloss-Coat. Here`s a teaser pic from my cellular phone :



    My SD card reader is acting up so I`ll have to go to Office Depot for a new one to upload the pics from my camera. Rayview coming soon!

    As you said, paint looked pretty good in first shot
    after one is brighter/sharper/glossier

    Need more pics

    Ya I`m a sucker for any metallic red color. Funny you say that because I was looking for a Focus! I fell in love with it after renting one for a week. I just couldn`t find one with everything I wanted (manual transmission and sunroof). Btw shopping for cars now, it`s amazing how rare manual transmission cars are

    The new focus is really a great looking car. I have the automatic transmission but it`s really a nice trans to drive. Meant to behave like manual but the convenience of auto. I lucked out on mine, had the packages I wanted and body kit from ford, oh yeah and that ruby red paint.



    Now just needs some gloss coat lol

    Oh well, something to work for. Maybe one day I can buy one new. And maybe it will be the new 2016 Ford Focus RS! The 2016 Ford Focus RS Will Be A 350bhp AWD Monster Hot Hatch

    I seriously doubt gloss coat is going to change anybody`s mind considering there are coatings less expensive that last just as long. Its just another new coating in a long line of new coatings.
