@PitMarshall: I think you saw it when it wasn't washed for few days, pm me if you want to pass by see the car again all washed up =)
@BoilerUpXFire: i was sold on double spokes because I saw pics of your car, and was looking exactly for those wheels =)))
as far as washing goes, it has to be hand washed. I went through a couple of touchless car washes already but it should only be hand washed. Getting some light scratches that have to buffed out, just like regular paint.
As for chrome paint, good luck finding a professional that will actually take on painting a chrome car. Just like matte black paint, there are just some pro's that will actually take on a project like that and will have a good result. And the biggest downfall for paint is that it's not reversible.
ps. a lot of parts were removed off the car and prepped just like for a paint job (except the scuffing) to achieve a proper result

As for being reversible - all paint jobs can be taken off and redone.

Chrome wrap probably reflects about the same amount of radar as painted metal (radar is, of course, far outside the light spectrum and doesn't care much about color), whereas it reflects a hell of a lot more near-visible light back to a laser gun.
