I'm getting my car re-detailed again because the coating the dealer used is having a weird reaction. Going to do a stage one polish with Gtechniq coating and getting windows tinted 18%.
Does anyone else have this on their shadow trim? |

Are those swirl marks in the trim? Hard to tell from the pic.
Edit - also, which "flavor" of Gtechniq are you having applied?

No, it is vertical stains in the trim.
I am not sure, they have two different kinds, I'll ask them. Edit: It is called C2 V3 liquid crystal. Last edited by m34SPD; 11-23-2015 at 10:54 AM.. |

I'm also having no the C2 V3 applied now. Will post pics once it's completed. I've had it before on other vehicles and always had really good results.

I figure those are the areas that are most likely to get damage from rock chips and road debris. For that coverage, it will cost between $1500-$2500, depending on the shop. For the rest of the car, I will go with just getting the paint corrected and a ceramic coating (most likely, GTechniq). Not much protection against rocks and stuff, but will help against swirl marks and fine lines. It will also add to the shine and gloss of the paint. We'll see. |

I had Modesta BC04 and BC05 coating on my Lamborghini but also had a full paint correction.
I think where you guys are seeing a difference is that there is a difference between a detail and a paint correction, very few do an actual paint correction. I have an X5M on order and will probably do the Modesta again at Immaculate Essence here in Portland with a full paint correction. https://www.facebook.com/immaculatee...type=3&theater The picture of my Lambo doesn't do the car justice with how good it looks. They just took a Estoril Blue M3 in for paint correction and Modesta. Typically for Modesta prices start at a minimum of $1,500 and then go up from there depending on size of vehicle and work required, but a typical NEW CAR will require 30-40 hours of paint correction. A detail is just a wax and some light polishing, a paint correction is full wet sanding, paint meter to ensure every area is perfect depth and so much more.
