Dry and sunny at last!

Washed dried, decontaminated and clayed before machine polish and Shelby ceramic coat.

Love the way the matallic black glistens in the sunshine!

Nice result. Did you correct the paint work or just use polish before the ceramic coat?

I already corrected it when I bought it as the dealer had done a terrible job as there were holograms and trails all over it.

Just needed a polish this time.

Polished then used a polish remover before the ceramic. I did my wifes new car straight from the garage with the same stuff and it is realy good, water just sheets off.

Like Herbie I am curious to know what polish remover you use and why.? Are you talking about a control cleaner to remove polish residues? I tend  to put the polish on after the ceramic coating

Having re-read my post, what I should have said was that I wax after the ceramic coat having used polish to to get the paint work ready for the ceramic coat and yes I do use a control cleaner to clean off the residues before the ceramic coat and then apply about two coats of wax.

I used Chemical Guys wipe out surface cleansing spray to clean the paint after I used the machine polish which was Meguires 205. Then I applied the ceramic coat.

Raining this morning and the water is running off nicely.
