Your muffler looks awesome, I think the fact it's so clean makes a big difference.

Plus the fat tips, it all works well, I should clean mine up.

Question, I thought the parts will be coated after the paint has been done at the paint shop? Or do you mean waxing here?

Shouldn't let a paint shop try and apply coating to your fresh paint, they usually just apply swirl marks.

They aren't experts at detailing.

Ain't that the truth!!

My mate got his car resprayed recently and wanted me to check it out. I didn't have the heart to tell him, but told him it needs correcting...

You also need to give the paint time to gas out (cure) before applying a coating!
