Here is the after pics..


Before I had the crystal guard I was using NXT Tech wax.. I really can't notice too much more of a difference between the two. The Crystal Guard is a bit more shiny, but not by much.

This is the professional application. I had it done at Englewood Auto Spa in Englewood, NJ. It's only been 5 days since I've had it applied. I've been told that it gets better with age. Hopefuly it does because I am not really impressed at all.

Got the same thing and looks good. It is like a glass layer, so it's transparent - in pics you cannot see any differences. Finish feels slicker, dust comes off easier, and paint should be stronger (not willing to try that though). Rims stay cleaner longer. It is a car paint protectant so I guess only time will tell how good it is. It is not a car show thick wax layer making the car look "wet" or changing the shade of the car color. Also, as the car has a clear coat on it, there are limits as to how much shinnier it can look to start with - hence the pics not showing much.

Yup, you can tell the difference much more now that 7 days have passed by after having it done. They weren't kidding when they told me it takes about a week for the effects to really start showing. I went to sleep last night and when I woke up looking at my hood was like looking in the mirror.. wasn't like that with NXT Tech was on the car.. It also brings out the metal flakes in the paint more. Much higher glitter from them with the CG on.

First, call Crystal Guard and find an authorized reseller in your area. They can give you an exact price. I paid $299 for the professional application. The professional application uses a higher concentration of the stuff that makes the CG work. You can't get the professional supplies unless you have the reseller do it. Hope that helps
