Default I used F11 for the first time on the Hawk.



I tried F11 Topcoat on my Firehawk for the first time today and WOW! The shine on the car is amazing.
The paint is all original and has never been touched. It has always been garages and is in excellent condition with 86,000 miles. I guess well just have to see how long it lasts. The pictures have not been altered in any way.

I just washed and dried it. Then applied it out of the sun in the garage. You don't need very much product at all, and it came off very easy with no streaks like some if the spray waxes. I did the glass, wheels and all the plastic trim. If there are any white marks on the trim from wax, it removes them and makes it look like you put Armor All on it.

It seems like it is expensive, but if you order 1 gallon of it for 100.00 its not that bad. Price out a name brand spray wax bottle. If you were to buy a gallon of it, it wouldn't be much less.
This stuff is really amazing. I went through a puddle and had some muddy splash marks on the side of the car. I took a dry micro fiber towl and just lightly wiped it all away. No light scratches or residue left behind at all. Its like nothing can stick to the car.

That looks great! Might have to give it a try on my black Hawk. What percent window tint do you have?

I agree. For that price I recommend something a little more permanent. I recently put the McKee's 37 paint coating on my WS6, RSX, and my wife's G6. It has a very glossy candy coated appearance and is supposed to last 2 years. It was stupid simple to apply, unlike more traditional coatings like cquartz and optimum gloss coat.
