Today was a day I’ve been waiting for; after a long Winter, I was finally able to put a Graphene/Ceramic coating on my CLS.
1) stripped existing wax/protectant using Purple Power
2) decontaminated with Gyeon Quartz Q2M Iron remover
3) rinse
4) air dry with cordless blower
5) Polish with 3D-Speed AIO and Dual Action polisher
6) Wipe down with Gyeon Prep
7) Turtle Wax Ceramic + Graphene Paste Wax
The metallic specks in the gray paint cannot be seen in this image, but they look awesome. I’m super pleased with the way it turned out; well worth the overall 7 hr investment 😎
Let me know your thoughts...

Reason: Added some additional detail
Looks brand new! Love the gray too. I opted for a ceramic coat on my car last year, and it looks awesome 9 months later. I've used a graphene spray wax to touch it up every couple months, I figure it does a good job filling in any imperfections in the ceramic coat

I really appreciate it! Thanks. Here’s something very interesting I hadn’t taken into consideration before coating with the Graphene. I’ve always maintained a “coat of armor” on this car. Liquid waxes, protectants, etc. And I was reluctant to strip all of that stuff off and start with a base coat. But when the entire job was completed I was amazed at the way the gray specks and the original Magnetite Black color (see attachments) just looks brand new. It was a lot of work, but in the end I am beyond pleased.
