So ended up finally have time to do my own paint correction and Ceramic Application. GW is a interesting beast as its very hard to find/see swirls but also you need a massive amount of light to see imperfections. I counted probably 6 small pieces of contaminants in the clear that would require some wet sanding.

Needless to say while I can do it, I won't be doing it, I just went with a ultra conservative with a fine pad and fine polish and got about 80% of imperfections maybe more but its so hard to tell I doubt anyone can see besides my self with a LOT of light.

Started off with a proper wash/coffee

Quality/Fitment: 7/10

Value: 9/10 (all three for sub $200 (at the time) its not bad. Wish it had yellow logos.

If you are OCD about weather matts I would say wait for weather tech or get Husky Liners tho they seem to be having some of their issues as well.
