Dude, come on. Why don't you drive that thing? Garage queens are unhappy cars. But seriously, she a beaut. At first, I couldn't tell if I were viewing the original or its reflection. Nice.

I used all Griots polishes and waxes
1. First washed and clayed the car
Then followed by:
2. Polish #1 for some big swirl marks in just a few areas like the hood, roof and top of tail.
3. Polish #2 for smaller swirl marks
4. Then followed by polish #3 and then #4
5. Then used Best of Show wax

I drive my car every weekend (weather permitting) and sometimes to work. And since I live near the California Highway and route 1, I will say it is worth the drive. As for "garage queen", maybe she looks that way but that is because I feed her well and she is worth the attention!

That looks incredible. Nicely done. Further proof that I do not have the patience for a black car.

Now I really feel inadequate. And I thought buying a Porsche would help allieviate my feelings of inadequacy...

Nothing like a black car when it's all shined up. Looks great.
