Got the car back. Overall the paint looks crystal clear with no orange peel and the K2 on the front looks good....much better than the 3m clear bra ever did. Ken Pike (the paiinter) said this is about the 40th car he's used it on and he's very satisfied with the results. He has seen no yellowing and it seems to take a harder hit with less damage than clear bra. Makes sense as clear bra is nothing but plastic. And, K2 can be touched up and buffed out if there's an issue.

I asked about waxes and he said wait till Feb to do any waxing or applying the numbers back on the fender. He also does not like any of the SEALING type topicals as they don't allow the paint to breath. This is exactly what the DuPont and PPG reps always told me when I spoke tho them about paint when I was in the business.........Oh, he recommended Mothers wax as (just like the reps say) it has Carnuba, which is the only real wax....not a topical sealer. There are many other waxes with Carnuba, but this is his personal favorite. There are many with a Carnuba base.

Anyway looks good as his reputation and the car looks great.
