Looks great but dont use the glossifier or any metallizer. It leaves the dip grippy and really rubbery making it impossible to clean. Ask me how I know. Also after it sets a day or 2, spray it with Turtle Wax Ice spray wax and wipe off to keep it somewhat glossy and protected. It really keeps the scratches to a minimum.

Yep, it is now impossible to clean.....I made that mistake once and never again. You can hose it down, but forget wiping clean.
