Default Crystal Guard Applied this weekend

Well, I got my Crystal Guard Quick in last week and put it on Saturday. I must admit that it was SO EASY to apply and wipe off. It took me about 45 mins for the entire process..At first I didn't notice a big difference but today, it looks awesome..I wasn't sure it would give the white any better gloss but, I was wrong..As I looked at the shine this morning at the gym, I was able to see the clouds from above in the paint..Mirror like finish.
Special thanks to Jim at Crystal Guard for the personal phone call with tips on application. I hope to apply 1 more coat in the next week or so. Hope to get some pics taken and post in the next few days.
Hey Jim....Great product, thanks again.

How does the car look these days? Still applying the Quick every few months or more frequently?

Hey there old buddy..Sorry to take so long to reply. Yes the shine is still AWESOME..I have 3 coats of QUICK on my Xfire so far..I entered 5 shows in 5 weeks and took 1st in my class in all. Prior to the last show, I applied 2 coats of P21s
wax for added depth and its looks great..Had a veteran car show friend suggest it so, I tried it..
Never seen a finish bead water like this one..Thanks for all your help. The CrystalGuard system has really been easy to use and makes my cleaning time much faster..Hope to add some pics to my album when I can get some spare time.
I get so many comments on the shine and I am very pleased too.
Thanks again Jim..

Thats's great to hear you got 1st place in the car shows! I'm very pleased to hear the ease of use and cleaning. That is a very true statement. This product is designed to not only look great, but reduce your maintenance and cleaning time.

Spread the word around the community and let others know. Post a few pics if you can...

Jim

I did mine with both the Crystal Guard and Zanio, the CG lasts longer, but the Zanio did look just a tad better. CG is so easy I didn't think it would last. Great Stuff.

Hey Jim,
Just added a few pics to my album..Some outside and a couple from one of my inside shows..Received a special invite today to display my car at a NAPA Auto Parts Annual "Casino Night". Feel really honored as they only invite 10 cars every year to display.Thanks again for your help and advise on keeping my car looking great.

You are right about the trophy..This was my biggest suprise a few weeks ago as I entered a Mopar Only show..I entered the 1975 and newer stock class. There were a couple Vipers along with 30 other various Dodge and Chrysler cars in my class. When the award presentation was almost over, I thought I'd not placed at all..Then when they announced the "Best in Show" and called my name, I was totally shocked..The trophy almost didn't fit in the car with all my other display/prep supplies I carry along. That thing is almost 5' tall..It was a very nice feeling to know they voted mine the best of the best..
Many of the cars I compete aganist are only driven on weekends or seldom at all. I drive my car 40 miles every day and keeping it spotless is quite a challange..I guess thats why I feel good when I'm able to place high in a show.

Tony, Congradulations on the Trophy. Great looking car! I like your choice of colors. If you pass by Panama City on Hwy 98, stop by at 633 S. Tyndall Pky (Hwy98) and I'll buy you a cup of coffee.
