Installed Katana LED bulbs recently. Love the improvement in illumination of the road at night.
Are they as bright as the LasFit? I like my headlights but I think I need to dubbed down a little bit. They are blindly bright lol

Just bought and used Turtle Wax Ceramic spray for the first time. Wow, I love it. Took about an hour to install. I'll probably do the recommended 2nd coat tomorrow. The gloss is ridiculously shiny.

Looks nice! I did the same last weekend, only I went with the Seal and Shine. Not sure of the difference between the Ceramic you used or the Seal and Shine I used. I did two coats as well and am very happy with the results.

Looks good. I have never used this but I have seen it at Walmart. I used CG’s extreme top coat sealant and the wet mirror finish glaze. I made a mistake and put the sealant on first instead of the mirror wet glaze ??‍♀
So I’m gonna rewash car this weekend and wax and then seal lol but your car looks superb ??

Jen. Actually sealants go on before wax. Wax is always the final step.

You're 100% fine. You did good.

Don't redo it with sealant on top. If you do, I'll be forced to remind you that you did it backwards. :cool:

But the guy at the detail garage said I did it backwards? He even gave me a card with the flow chart and it said the sealant is supposed to go on after the glaze. Sorry I messed up and said “wax” not glaze. Yes the product I have is the glaze not wax.

Jen- list the product names (not manufacturer) you want to use and we can make more sense of it all.

Ok, got it Jen. Glaze is a totally different product.

Glaze - Sealant - Wax.

Here's my full old fashioned detail...

Clay - Polish - Glaze - Sealant - Wax.

After that, there's no need to go to the gym for a while. You also need to view your car with sunglasses at all times to avoid retina damage. ;)
