GT500 BUILD THREAD! 'vert is being replaced!

Looks amazing. I guess you'll be buying a lot of matte wrap detail spray now.

Thanks! Any particular detail spray you would recommend? Or any other detailing products for the matte finish?

Any sealant will work, but chemical guys does in fact make a detail spray for matte vinyl wraps.

It some tweaked polymers that cross link better to the vinyl surface vs. a traditional clear coat. Hence why it is better to use.

Also Optimum's Opti-Seal is a good spray sealant (not a detail spray) that leaves a few months of protection on a vinyl wrap. Do not use a heavy polish etc on your surface now.

Stay away from anything that has dyes in it, and I highly recommend you just only use optimum no rinse for your standard car wash now, as some washes contain dyes in them and ONR essentially has some dirt eating polymers in it that will leave a slick surface on your wrap so you don't drag loose contamination which could possibly scratch the wrap.

That looks awesome! Once you get the wheels done it will look even better.

 

[AbdullaGT500]

All is done but the front bumper! Maybe it'll be done tomorrow!?

[DRock]

looks sweet! like how you left the top of the trunk black.

 

[Torched S197]

I like it, all except for the gloss black roof and trunk. It just clashes for me. You should do them in matte black wrap

 

[Deez-67]

[AbdullaGT500]

Looks great! Get those wheels powder coated in black and it'll complete the look. Just my
