I continued polishing my roof panel today and took some pictures (not with my iPhone)....it goes to show me that I really need to invest in a macro lens for my Nikon.....anyway, here they are...
Got the panel to look like glass in the glare...
That carbon fiber weave looks awesome!
Another angle of the carbon fiber roof panel...showing just how good the weave pattern is...
All this after only one pass...this roof is going to look awesome when it's installed As for protection... I will be using XPEL ULTIMATE Paint Protection Film just like Hieu did for his roof panel. This seems to be the best solution for these roof panels
Stain & Chemical Resistance
"How does XPEL ULTIMATE Paint Protection Film resist staining?"
The clear coat on XPEL ULTIMATE has a very low surface energy, which makes it extremely difficult for organic compounds to stick to the film. Insects, bird droppings and environmental contaminants (which would normally cause yellowing) such as road oils, exhaust smoke and pollution can be removed during regular washing. An example of a similar technology would be Teflon, where a Teflon pan is easy to clean because nothing will stick to it.
Charlie, that roof is insanely gorgeous. Can't wait to see it on the ///M (and eventually the ZHP as well? ) would you recommend the XPEL for all paint/panels? Or just for CF parts?
