Paint Correction and Opti Coat Pro
#41
Here is the link to Advanced detailing Advanced Mobile Detailing
Also keep in mind there is a difference in thickness between Opticoat 2.0 and Opticoat Pro, but the largest hurdle is the correction before its applied. If you want all of the swirl marks, nicks, etc. removed IMHO its just easier and more comprehensive to give it to a pro.

Full paint correction and clear bra
Max to start the car looks amazing. The paint correction and wheels make it the best looking xkr I have ever seen! I also have just done a full paint correction and a full 3m clear install to the entire car. Here are the links to who did the work and a few before and after pics I took myself. There are more pics on the detailers Instagram account. I'm not sure to link his account but you can google "ammo nyc Instagram " and it's the first hit. If this link doesn't work

Thank you Russ I appreciate the kind words, the cars been a pleasure to own as I know your GT has as well.
How do you like the 3M product? I know a few people that have used it and I'm considering it for the front. I've been lucky so far with no chips from track days but its just a matter of time before some in front of me gets in the marbles and starts throwing up rocks at 120MPH.

The 3m actually came out perfect. I feel like I have a piece of mind now. I do feel much more comfortable driving the car and am now using more often than not. The only set back is you might loose maybe 1% of the true shine of the car but to me its worth it for what I get in return

After several races, I could still notice were rock chips hit the 3M film shield. I was racing predominately in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. After a period of time the edges started to come part, and the harsh sun would "yellow" the film shield.
Before choosing the 3M product, be sure to search for competitive film protection. I agree the F1000 looked great the day after the 3M film shield was applied, and there was still a nice shine. However over time, espcially if the vehicle is expose to the outside, the suns rays will take it's toll on the edges and the product. It is not rock chip proof.

Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Paint Coating
The car needs to be clay barred or nanoskinned, polished to remove any other contaminents then paint coated.
You can find many detail products at autogeek.net.
DIY will save many hundreds of dollars.
Otherwise expect to spend upwards of $600 to $1000 from a professional detail shop.
