Here is the album with full walkthrough: 2013 Kia Optima SXL - Imgur This is my vehicle. I have owned it for exactly 13 months now. I test drove it with 6 miles on it and I purchased it with 14 miles on it. We are now at 12.5k miles. It has never been detailed. Only properly maintained via washes, bird poop extraction, WW wipedowns, etc. The paint and protection from factory held up extremely well. We had a very mild winter here in Chicago last winter, so that might be why. Lot of kudos to Kia on doing amazing paint jobs with their new factory in West Point, GA! Let me know if you want me to add anymore details or further elaboration. I'd like to put as much context as possible so you can all learn! Almost every picture has a description and every picture does have a title. Should be an easy walkthrough. All pictures taken with a Canon SX10IS. Total Time: 13 hours.
I absolutely love optimas. they are my favorite sedan of that class (accord, camry, etc.). Wish I actually wanted a family sedan. Car looks great, darker metallic greys are one of my favorite colors of all time.
Nice car, is there a reason why you would put the adam's glaze on first, then later 2 coats of CG blacklight? wouldn't the cleaners on the blacklight remove the adam's glaze?
