i got white now. but i have to get some iron x and a clay bar, has some rail dust in it.
its a weird color to where you have to dry it, then buff it off with a super plush towel or youll see your streaks. Like the paints glossy AF but you can almost see the spots on the clear because of a shadow off the paint. If that makes sense.

Was trying to explain this to gf about a Mexico blue SQ5 she likes.
Paint is super gloss clearcoat, but is technically a flat color beneath. Hard to really explain unless you know what I'm talking about lol.

its like having water spots on a thick glass top table. you can see the spots below but not on the surface.

Also if anyone wants to buy an SQ5 Audi with < 35k miles in brand new condition slide in my DMs

Is Mexico blue the darker or lighter blue? Audi has a light blue that’s basically Ford’s Grabber Blue and looks killer on the sedans

Loveeee that blue. If I ever got a Coyote or an RS Audi, it’d be that color. Can def see how it’d be a challenge to detail though

Gave the dodge its first full exterior detail.

white is so idk blah, awesome to detail because you cant notice much, shitty to detail because you dont see the rewards as much.

I used some shit i had laying around from back in the day, and bought a few things. I have been out of the coating stuff for years, hope the chemical guys ceramic coat holds up well.

Also i have the leveling kit on in this picture, def brought the front end up a bunch. and debadged the door and tailgate.

Replaced Magneride shocks yesterday with Monroe replacement struts. Also added a 0.5" front spacer. Hopefully things settle in the next few days before I get an alignment. If not I will remove the front 0.5" spacer. I do not like the slight "lean" that it has right now.
