AWESOME!! And whether you know it or not, you MAY end up having one of the rarest of the 12's. As RZ is no longer available (due to the Tsuami). a new Tint, with a new code, and a $$$ markup to get it, is being released at Job2.

Man, any non-HDR photos?

Car looks phenomenal, but don't wanna overdo it with the effects.

yeah only the garage shots and the interior shots are true hdr's done with bracketed photos. the rest were faux hdr also using photomatix 4.

here's a totally unprocessed shot of one posted above.

I used pinnacle claybar first (after washing) then using an orbital buffer, I used griot's garage stage 3 polish followed by hand applied stage 4 polish.

in hindsight, I probably should have gone all the way down to stage 1 for deeper cutting as the orange peel finish on the car is pretty bad. I'll do that in a couple of months when it's time to wax again.

but yeah those 2 polishes followed by the meguiars best of show wax but next time I'm going to be using an acrylic sealant rather than a wax.

I have the link to the type I'm planning to use at my office. I'll try to post it up tomorrow.

Just about everything in the stores are not very good.. or at least don't last long at all. Maybe 2 months at the very most from what I've read. The acrylic sealant lasts 6 months.
