Great work!

I guess you didn't really have to use anything to clean the wheels? I've heard the carbon brakes are extremely sensitive to cleaning chemicals, etc., and it's quite easy to mess them up.

I think they plan on keeping this one for themselves actually.

Thanks! Yeah it felt about the same.

Nope, it came straight here from the factory. So somebody down there had the bright idea of buffing it....only God knows why...

Thanks! I was going to have a professional photographer come out to shoot the car for me, but I didn't have enough notice. Thank you!

Just water. Dealer told me no cleaners on the wheels because of the brakes. Thankfully they weren't too dirty, so water was enough.

Jeweling the clearcoat is kinda like when a jeweler polishes a stone. It already looks beautiful, but with just a tiny bit of polish, it brings the color and shine to another level. Basically its buffing it with a super fine compound with a pad that has no cut to it. It really gives the paint a deep gloss and shine.

Thanks!
