Chemical guys "hydro Speed"

I was so impressed with this product that I felt I had to post about it. If you are like me and clean your f10 constantly than I suggest you try this product. It really made the paint pop and glossy. I hand wash my car and frequently wax it, but this product was the definition of a quick detailer. It went on easily, buffed without issues and had amazing results.

Give it a shot!

Note: I didnt do the front bumper as I am doing some paint correction today.

Thanks! I was vacillating on whether to purchase this or not; ceramic scares me. Now I'll have to give it a try.

Thanks for the details...will try that out! I use CG Speed Shine regularly

Side note: did you cover your front reflectors with white film? And did you do something to the inner headlights? Your car is sick!

I applied it similar to a quick spray wax, but applied it pretty heavy

Wash car really well, spray, buff on, buff off

10-4 on the reflectors, thank you

My headlights appear soooo much different than yours; really like the way yours look. Am I tripping or do yours not have the same white lower portion that mine do? Pics attached...

Looks like you have the LED lights; that would be the difference, IMHO.

Thank you! Those 2 pics did wonders for my understanding (and had no clue what LCI was until now)...clearly I have A LOT to learn

I thought the LED's didn't come out until the LCI; and before that the only options were halogen & Xenon/HID. I am married so of course could be wrong.

Im not positive on this, but i know my car is a 2012 pre lci, and my turn signals/halos are led. My actual head light part is HID projectors i believe.

I was referring to the headlights. Yes, the other two are LED. That was an LCI change; the turn signals went back to incandescent. I changed the bulb to an LED, CAN-corrected bulb.
