Space Grey Detailed and Gtechniq Ceramic Coating log

I had my new car detailed and protected with gtechniq crystal serum light and exo on top. I had the work carried out by Jim @ Definitions detailing about a week after delivery. You can see the pictures and writeup directly on his facebook page

Good Job.

I had the same done on my F15 within the week it was delivered - well worth the effort and time taken.......not the say the cost.

Hope you get enjoy the beast now that spring is on its way.

Looks really great and worth the expense
Did you have the leather and carpets protected as well?
What was the final cost?
Now you have to keep it clean every week

Looking good and its comforting to know it is well protected for a few years to come. Your M50d does look stunning in Space Grey and I deliberated long and hard between that and Carbon Black.

There is such an array of products on the market (and accompanying polarised opinions across the internet) it is hard to know which one to go for. My current thinking is that some protection is better than none and am going to go with CarPro CQuartz as a mid-priced alternative though many will probably say I'll be paying for my cheapness down the road!

I had the same predicament over choosing a colour, i really wanted to go for one of the blacks but played it safe and went space grey for ease of maintenance. I spotted a clean swirl free carbon black in my office car park yesterday ad it did make me think twice as it looked lovely in the sun.

I have industrial strength black dakota so didn't get the interior done

Congrats! I have the same coating applied and also added EXO V2 for added protection.

It is tough to say that it prevents marring and scratches as the coating is not as "thick" as what it seems. I have Black Sapphire Metallic paintwork.
