4084 all cleaned up
Just wanted to post a couple of pics after getting 4084 all cleaned up this weekend. For those of you that warned us how much attention this car got, you were not lying. Have just over 500 miles on her and have had at least 2 people that I have noticed in other cars taking cell phone video on the interstate and countless others looking, thumbs up, etc. Everyone seems to want to talk about it, random strangers constantly coming up to me. Anyways, here are a few pics I took after getting her shined up this weekend.

Beautiful adrenaline red 3LT interior with the carbon fiber dash. The 1 LT and 2 LT adrenaline red interiors ( especially without the carbon fiber dash) can't hold a candle to your selection. You got the award winning interior we've all talked about for years cause you spent a little extra to get a whole lot. Enjoy.
congrats and CF Roof looks awesome

That amazing color is hard NOT to notice. Glad to hear about your experiences thus far. Continue to enjoy!

After a complete wash and dry I clayed it with Sonus SFX ultrafine detail clay. First time I have ever clayed a car and I would recommend this clay if you have never done it before as it is really easy to use and is an ultra fine clay which is probably all you need on a new car anyway.
Next I used a sealant, the Sonus SFX-4 paint sealant with polycharger. Another very easy product to use.
Lastly I followed up with a layer of P21S Carnauba wax for the final shine. A full supply of good microfiber towels and some buffing and there you go.
Good luck with yours, post some pics after you get it. They sure are lots of fun!

I hand washed using the P21S bodywork conditioning shampoo and a sheepskin washmit, using a couple Sonus microfiber drying towels to dry it.

Did your process scratch up the top or is that just the way the light is hitting it?

went out and looked at it in the garage and I think it must be the way the light is hitting it in that pic. I didn't see any swirl marks or scratches but I see what you are talking about.
