Nothing too special here. A subject of a couple of prior write-ups, was time for a bit of sprucing up. Generally excellent shape with a few RIDS to eliminate. Exterior only - a little over 5 hours.

Questions welcome. Thanks for viewing.
 
Great job Mike! The reflection in every picture is amazing with the red paint. How easy was AF tough coat to apply?
 
Thanks Ben and Steve.

AF Tough Coat was easy to apply. The most difficult part was getting the sprayer right. Screw it on and, because the spray is so fine, it took tons of pulls to prime it. After, was awesome. Spray it on, spread and wipe off a few minutes later. Easy to see when ready or if you miss a spot. Very slick.
 
NICE!!

I was curious why you'd think of tough coat after seeing your unboxing of it. I bought Sonax net shield to try on my daily when the current sealant wears off a bit more but now I'm thinking I should have went tough coat since the application is much easier and I keep hearing it's very slick feeling which is one of my detailing obsessions (love super slick feeling paint).
 
Thanks Mike and XSSIVE.

AF Tough Coat is an excellent spray sealant. I have Net Shield but haven't tried it yet.

Cool, when you do I'm curious to hear how it compares to Tough Coat in application ease, removal and feeling left behind.

From my take is Net Shield is pretty tough to remove if you leave it on for a while, I use it as a wipe on wipe off. Using a thinner towel that lets you grab the paint can help a bit more, but applies easy with a foam applicator and as for the feeling while drying is pretty rough while it cures. But slick once it cures after 12 hours or so.

I also use it on glass, works great over about 35mph (this depending on slope of your glass as well)
