Don't cry, but you already have them. What you saw was a new car... look at your paint from a low angle or with an LED flashlight. My guy at Windows and Wheels will do it for about $900 even if he travels to customer's home... 2 step polish (all scratches gone!) and then 2 layers of coating on all paint, wheels, and hard plastic. This included polishing and coating the headlight and tail light plastic. I also had him use a product for the windows... better than rain-X and also lasts 2 years for another $45. People come from all over the country... their results are winning car shows. General consensus seems to be that Opticoat is a little harder, but CQuart looks wetter and deeper with more reflectivity. The CQuart also does not attract dust... a real problem on a black ride.
When you wash one like mine with a foam cannon you blow-dry the vehicle with an electric leaf blower due to the extremely hydrophobic nature of these coatings...... Literally a "no touch wash and dry" They taught me the technique.. my SHO takes about 40 minutes.
You can do the CQuart or Opticoat yourself , but the professional product is superior and consumers can't buy them, and you get a 2 year warranty if a CarPro certified detailer does it. Polishing is not that difficult, but without the electronic equipment to measure thickness of paint and clear coat separately you could cause enough damage to result in early paint/clear coat failure. Wills and Dana worked together for two and a half days just on my car.... Cheap in the long run!
