Last night I polished and ceramic coated my windshield using CarPro Flyby Forte kit. It comes with everything you need except buffer (optional). I used 3” cordless one since those were only glass (rayonish) pad size I had and being small & light helped with agility, still splattered lots.

The kit only comes with 15ml of ceramic so you can be stingy and double coat windshield, single coat sides and rear maybe. I just reordered a second kit just to to sides windows & mirrors, back hatch. I used 7/8 of the bottle doing 3 layers on windshield (cotton cosmetic face pad applicators) so I added One more layer and coated wiper blades well as suggested.

Since polishing cloths had glass powder, tossed them after use as recommended by CarPro. This wasn’t hard but tedious hand application.

Ceramic prep and application will be ongoing next week as had fairly tough time stripping fairly new wax down to clear coat. Adams Strip Wash inbound w/backups of Rustoleum prep solvent should help while trying not to impact plentiful vinyl adornments.

Going with Armor Shield IX other than on glass as I’m still an amateur.

CarPro Flyby Forte 15mL Full Kit

Looks great. I gotta get off my lazy butt and do mine. Still waiting on my turn signal housings though to do it all at the same time. Congrats brother!
That’s a good idea. Tackle it at the same time!!
I didn’t install them myself but it was pretty straight forward !!

I know they’re a little something !
I love them .
I actually got them from hirev.
It came with everything needed to install and also a oem window switch !
Yeah man their kit is legit. When I opened the box I was quite impressed with the quality of the kit. Even the switch is an oem honda part.

I know bud. I looked into getting the oem ones to work and stuff and it was a dead end! Also it was so expensive to get the parts from the UK.
I actually saw someone on the group that installed them and said they sourced them from hi rev and I jumped right on them !

Those are a trip. The ones I have coming are different as I have a 2019 and am integrating a larger sequential. Again might as well do it all at once. It's really too bad I wasn't doing this when I installed my defrost and signal mirrors over a year ago. It's a lot nicer when you can do all the wiring at once.

Has anyone bought or upgraded their shifters from Raceseng before? I placed an order from them over a month ago and still waiting for one of their nice, red colored, leather wrapped shifters so that I can replace the frozen popsicle stick shifter that I currently have in my 2020. Is anyone still on the waiting list with them if you did plan to swap out your shifters as well?
