Due to some urgent work, I could not do the planned detailing of my car last weekend with the stuff that I got. However I tried out the Megs UQD yesterday evening and I must says using it alone is having a great impact. However based on my assessment, the first thing that I will need on my car is to use the clay bar. There is considerable roughness of the paint surface, especially on the left side of the car. Not sure how it happened though.

^That rough feeling can be due to industrial fall out, paint overspray(in case any of your panels are repainted), long standing dust and grime baked by the sun onto the paint surface.

After claying, the surface feels like a clean shaven skin! nice and smooth!

I had seen a white Laura, the fella had covered the entire car with this, only a few areas were uncovered. Areas like the boot area where badges are put and around the number plate area.

The uncovered area looked crisp white but the covered had turned pale and had a yellowish tinge. Did not look good at all.

I would never get this done for sure.

Thats because the paint protection film doesn't have that much anti-UV properties like the clearcoat!(its main purpose is to protect the paint against scratches etc.)

After applying the PPFilm, you can wax the film just as you wax the paint.
You can even perform minor scratch removal on it!

The wax will protect the film from UV rays, thus prevent yellowing etc.(generally these films come with a warranty against yellowing!) 3M scotchguard PPF gives 5 yr warranty against cracking/yellowing!

For that need to get my car out of the covered parking and frankly i do not know what will the difference be seen in the pic. I can see the car looks almost the same after applying all- Blackfire, Collinite or Pinnacle. I think once many layers of sealant are on it, the rest is just toppings
Gotta get into "sane mode" and take it easy for now

Could not resist, posting pics, though taken in the semi-covered parking and surely with 1/2 the effect what it would have been had it been taken outside. However the effect of Pinnacle is great, as is evident from the second shot esp of the side panel

[sohail99]

Dude!! WHOAAAA!!!!

That is the wettest look ever!!!

The depth and jetting is like, simply amazing!!
That wont produce whiplash, that'll simply break necks!! lol

Keep up the really great work!!

Excellent wet look. BTW, did you repaint the rear back side of the car (2nd pic) as the paint finish does not match the rest of the car.

The eBay dealer is quite good. Provides a discount and ships fast. You can buy from him.

[abhipuru16]

If possible, can you take a shot wherein we could see the whole of your car in sunlight.
The results are just unbelievable as of now.

Total effort put in: Well over 8 hours. The aches in the back the next day were totally worth the gleam on the car.

Here are some of the fruits of my toil... Looking forward for your feedback.

The pictures above are much better to get an idea of the shine.
Great results Hiren!
That looks like straight-out-of-the-assembly-line!
Also, did you leave out polishing and waxing the bumpers, it "seems" like they are not treated. It could be the pictures, so, just don't worry of you have.

EDIT- I saw the first three pics again, and I think you did. So, thumbs up!
