Looks fantastic! I love that color, too. I have only seen one in this color once in person.

Your car looks awesome. I live about 30 minutes from the Griot store in Tacoma and bought the full kit with the polisher a couple of months ago. Tomorrow, I'm hoping for good weather and going to wash it, clay it and then go to work with the polisher to get rid of the scratches, and then top it off with a good coat of wax. I hope mine looks as good as yours afterwards!

whitewolf: Brilliant, mate! Using the clay bar is a MUST. You can't get an even, deep lustre unless you start with a a smooth, silky paint surface. Even in pictures, you can see the firey metallic quality in that shade of red. I'm betting it didn't show before the clay bar and wax job.

Kmiles: I have everything Griot's makes including the 3" and 6" machines. I used to use polish #2, then polish #1 but they have been changed to correcting cream and perfecting cream. For the final wax I started using Poly Wax instead of Best Of Show. If you watch the videos at the website, you can't go wrong.
