CP test cont.

I posted a photo the other day of a black wrap with CP applied. I was looking for any white hazing or flaking. I guess I never realized that the hazing or flaking I was looking for many times doesn't show up until after finish is applied. I got a couple emails explaning that and asked if I could post a photo of the wrap with finish so I did just that.

I took MANY photos before I got a couple with enough light and focus and still they are not as good as the naked eye.

To be honest and to my surprise the naked eye does see some sparkles kind of like star dust if the sun hits it just right & I tried to photo that
but it was impossible. No white flaking or hazing at all though.

Here is the wrap before finish.

Here is after finish.
