G Technic detail after two years of ownership was well needed as you can see
the difference in the before and after photos
Has made the Daytona grey look really deep in colour and the water just rolls off the surface,

Thanks sawda it came up really well with the G Technic finish I’m not quite finished yet
B16s to be added this week so it’s being dropped down slightly

May I ask about the door pillar process? I payed for my 8v to be ceramic coated and detailed but when I arrived the pillars were barely touched and he made excuses around this saying he couldn’t do to much otherwise it would damage the plastic? Would like to know wether this was just a tactic to brush off a rushed job etc.

All I know is they used the g Technic crystal serum + exo finish, and the guy that did the work said he went that extra mile to do a good job , all I can suggest is possible take it to another Detailer and see what they say maybe someone else could do a better job ?

What happened to the front end !!!... It might just need to be polished better and finished it not all about just the product used I suppose

Sounds a bit of a fob off to me. You’ll find the majority of panels can be attacked with a machine polisher including glass. By the sounds of it he’s forgotten to do them. If you don’t mind me asking how much did you pay? sometimes you pay for what you get.

Absolute BS if you ask me. They either forgot to do them or couldn't be bothered.
I haven't got a ceramic coating on mine but I detail it myself with a DA polisher and apply finishing products, sealants etc. I can tell you that with a light cutting pad with some finishing polish on a DA those scratches/swirls would disappear leaving it perfect for any coating to be used

I agree with above comments.
Did both B pillar trims on the 8P and 8V with a DA, didn’t take that much to get then looking good either.
