Indeed, gotta love that just waxed look.
I used to hate when I would get the formula all shined up then you pull in somewhere and all you see if fingerprints all over by the door handle area, from the passenger seat. One of the many ****** things about black paint.

I always thought it was best to do a panel at a time, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as you have an electric buffer or the stamina to swirl it around for a long time.

The car looks sick. I really love that color, too. Almost looks orange.
Is it okay to polish over polish? Does polish leave a layer of anything on paint? I used some TurtleWax F21 stuff on our Z and it really cleaned up the dusty paint, but there are a few spots that look dull compared to the nice spots. Could I just polish over the already polished paint and be okay? Or do I need to use some kind of remover or something?

It might have been late but the pictures clearly show the improvment.

I know the feeling. A good detail job takes forever.

I think I'll install my Strano sway bars and then detail the entire car as it's looking pretty rough from the CSF trip.
