Nice work. But question is how well does that stuff hold up on rims and panels? I live in Michigan and it seems roads and weather conditions would deteriorate quickly.

it holds up actually pretty well and the best part is that you can always touch it up and no one will ever know the difference. with the black wheels i will say that mud and stuff do show up alot and i do 120 miles a day so sometimes a nice little touch up is worth it. and i can always take it off if need be

I had some on my Tacoma rims, rear bumper and emblems for about 3 years and never had to do anything with it. I even went through the car washes with the tire cleaning brushes and everything. I live in New England too so the road salts don't mess it up either. The only down side to doing it on the rims is when you get a tire change or balancing, the machine tears it up but it is a quick fix even though I've only had to do that once. The biggest thing to do is making sure to clean it from oils and crap the first time. I used rubbing alcohol after using some chemical guys citrus rinse soap (or something like that) and it was amazing at how long it lasted!

The car looks pretty wicked with it on the white too! Nice job!

Did you use a glossifier or just the plain one? I've done the front grills and they've held up fine so far four months into it. I don't expect them to last that long though...

What about the exhaust tips? Any trouble with the heat?
