Show and Shine... Post your ride

I do like the look of those Coyote badges.
I've got the GT350 style on my grill and trunk deck lid.
Really high quality items.
The lime green looks great with your color too.

Thanks! Trying something different especially with the white wheels and the calipers to match the lime, and I was so shocked at how heavy the coyote badge was, I didn't want to get the square badge that says coyote because mines not a coyote but the coyote head matches my theme and nick name I had for over a decade

Which Carpro pad should I use with the Essence Plus? are there slightly more abrasive pads if there is a minor scuff that the plus doesn’t fill?

Thanks for all your help, it’s nice to have guys like you that are willing and able to help the newbies out. I looked at the detail thread you added above, your car is perfection.

Carpro recommend their Gloss Pad for use with Essence Plus.
CARPRO » Gloss pad

Similar pads would include the Rupes White Ultra-Fine, Lake Country SDO or HDO Black.

This is the Carpro directions for Essence Plus -
CARPRO » Essence Plus

1. Wash and decontaminate vehicle well.
2. Dry and degrease with CARPRO Eraser.
3. Apply 4 pea-sized drops to a CARPRO Gloss Pad.
4. Use with ZERO pressure and low speed across a 60x60cm/24×24” section.
5. Allow to dry for minimum 30 minutes and wipe with a clean MF.

Note the ZERO pressure, you are basically applying a glaze that bonds to the ceramic coating, so you don't want abrasion.

I was wondering if anyone has tried the Pinnacle Black Label Tire Clear Coat and your opinion on its application and durability.

Funny about the nickname!
I'm 70 now, and a guy I worked with when I was 21 used to call me "Coyote" because I drove our work truck so CRAZY...... Hahahaha.
I even ordered a customized dash plaque from these guys too, "Built for Kyle " Coyote" Last Name.

Thanks again for the help. I’ll have to order all these items, more cleaning stuff to put in the already full cabinet

I'm in the middle of installing some more shine on the Jaaaaaag!

I have the full write up in the thread below, so this is the abbreviated version.
Holiday Project - Polishing and Ceramic Coating the Jag! | 2015+ S550 Mustang Forum (GT, EcoBoost, GT350, GT500, Bullitt, Mach 1) - Mustang6G.com

Washed with Capro Lift, followed by an iron decontamination with Carpro IronX and then clayed with a clay mitt and Meguiars Final Inspection as the lubricant.

Dried and wiped with Gyeon Prep and then polished with Gyeon Primer.......................

This was my first use of the Rupes LHR75 pneumatic, what a beast!

After the paint and trims, I polished the glass with P&S Clarity Creme, again with the LHR75.

I followed the polishing step with a light wipe over with Gyeon Prep to remove the polishing dust.

I covered the car for the night, ready to be ceramic coated tomorrow morning with Gyeon Pure EVO. Glass will be treated with Gyeon Quick View.

Following up and finishing my project from yesterday, I applied the ceramic coating and attended to a variety of other little tasks today.

Holiday Project - Polishing and Ceramic Coating the Jag! | 2015+ S550 Mustang Forum (GT, EcoBoost, GT350, GT500, Bullitt, Mach 1) - Mustang6G.com

Applied the glass coating.

Polished the number plates and number plate surrounds, then coated with Gyeon Cure.

Door sill polishing, again followed by Cure.

Applied 303 Fabric Guard to the floor mats.

Leather cleaning and protecting.

Interior wipe down with Auto Finesse Spritz.

Engine bay wipe down with ONR, dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing. Don't be fooled by the Jaguar badge, a Ford EcoBoost lives under that cover.

Finished results..............
