Looks great! While the detail was still fresh for you to go to Crystal see him. And relish in the fact that it took you half the time of the other conventional products on the cars shown above for the same gloss.....

Thanks Glen.
I followed the instructions per your docs.
Just after completing BF TPnS on the body, i immediately started with BF Crystal Seal. Did i misunderstood it because if you see in below pic, at one angle i see gloss on one half of hood but not on both sides of the hood.? Did i do anything wrong? If i change the angle of viewing, then complete hood looks to be shines.

You are overthinking it, if it looks good to you, that's all it matters. You Will get different looks from different angles. Next time you'll spend a lot less time doing it. If your second coat, take your best ,clean microfiber towel and give it a quick wipe on the whole surface to completely level and get out any streaks, they come right off. Carriyone in the car for a week because you'll find a smudge or a streak that you might've missed a couple days from now…

This is after Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wash and followed by Chemical Guys InstaWax+ spray wax. Looks amazing!

The Miagi Technique

Hand washing, Meguiar's polish and Meguiar's synthetic polymer paste once a week for 10 weeks will give you an unbelievable consistent shine.

The process is done all by hand and takes approximately 4 to 5 hours.

The wheels were treated every third wash with Meguiar's spray polymer wax; it keeps the relentless brake dust from sticking.

Next step is to use Zymol Glacier Glaze wax once a month for luster.

Just took this picture today of my Camaro. I cleaned it and honestly it getting dirty after this will be okay because this is the best clean I've ever done and I'm so proud of it. It looks much better in person but this is still beautiful.
