This gentleman came to me after discovering my website. We discussed different coating options and he decided to go with Americoat. Either coating choice is a win-win. Being a white car, it had its own challenges such as the contamination on the paint. There was also some swirl marks in the paint as well as multiple chips that I filled. There was some issues from a re-painted door that I was also able to correct for him. Please see the writeup for the full story as well as before and after pics:

So its been about a month or so since Rich did this work for me and here is a review.

On pickup I was very impressed with the outcome. My car looked amazing! The paint chips were corrected and not noticeable.
Rich has a great eye for detail and even cleaned the inner well of the wheels.
So thats the good part:
When originally speaking with Rich i wasnt sure if i should go with the CQUARTS which is known for ts quality or use the AMERICOAT not as well know. I decided to go with the AMERICOAT.

The issue im having is that its a bit more upkeep then I though it would be. After every time it rains I have to dry the car. The Americoat is a great barrier against water as u can see on youtube videos. The issue is when it rains the drops dont run down the car; instead they just sit on top of the car. If left to dry on their own they leave dirt spots where the drops of rain water were ( all over the hood, roof, trunk).

So to summarize. Great job done by Rich, looks great when cleaned, extra up keep is the biggest down side.

Its been over a year since the Detail and Americoat was applied. I have hand washed my car but the hydrophobic effects of the car. Water no longer runs off the car like it did at first, wish i would have went with the CQuarts. Also the touch up paint spots have turned dark grey and stand out very much now on the white car. not sure if the paint quality was bad or the application.
So basically after only a year or so I'm back to square one :/
