22' Alpine White X3MC

Took her in to my local guy who absolutely nailed this job! Exterior detail, paint correction w/Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light / EXOv4 Ceramic Coating on the paint. Wheels and Calipers coated with Gtechniq Ceramic Coating, quick interior cleanup and Adam’s Polishes Glass sealant.

Break-in service scheduled for next Friday, then mod time begins

Looks great & white will always been the most forgiving color. All you need is some moderate lowering springs & you're off to the races as they say!

Mind me asking what that cost? In the process of bidding out similar work. 1 guy I trust and will likely use is 2 hrs away.

I got a deal, $1,200. Most other places I shopped are at least twice the cost.

Man, that looks good! Had I known about SW Florida and the constant daily rain, I would have gotten white as well, so clean!

Yeah...that's a really good price!

I just ceramic coated my wheels and calipers this weekend and let me tell you, 1200 is a phenomenal price lol.

It looks great!

I was REALLY close to doing it myself. How bad was it?

It took me 2 solid 8-hour days . I bought the Dlux and Gliss kit from Obsessed Garage and did 2 coats of Dlux on the fronts, and 1 coat on the rears. I topped all wheels off with a coat of Gliss.

I pretty much ran out of Dlux so I couldn't coat the rears a second time. That's just how much surface area there is on these wheels.

They're fully cured now but I can't wash them with detergents for about a week. I really hope it was worth it because it was a PITA lol.
