Audioguy-
Looks great - glossy and deep. It might just be the bright lighting (I think it's called the sun???) but if I might humbly suggest, grab some Mother's Back to Black. Slop it on the rear bumperettes and it'll bring the factory gloss back to those as well. Great job!

Thanks for the comments! Pictures usually dont do it justice. It is actually better in person. As for the bumperettes, I never really paid much attention to those. I usually just spray some 425 on them and keep them flat looking but clean. I will give the Back to Black a try as long as it doesnt look like wet tire goo.

Black is the best color if you want to stay in shape constantly cleaning your car!

Time to go for a victory lap.

That is one gorgeous Boxster. I'm planning on getting mine done once winter is done.

Great pics, AUDIOGUY !

I love the way the non-amber rear lights look.

Glad you were able to get your "lock out" situation resolved...

beeeeYOOOOOOteeeful!

I might have to look into the soil and coating remover, since I just got my Boxster a little over a month ago, and it really wasn't kept very clean by the PO. Maybe a wash with some of that, and a clay bar, then the wash and wax routine?

I do have a few scratches and chips in the paint... but I know a guy that does touchups for a living. I'm gonna see if he can take a look at it and see what it would take to get all the little stuff taken care of.

Owning a black car as well, I share your joy in the results. It kills me how, even when trying to sell them, people don't take the time to make them look their best.

The bumperettes? Back to Black is definitely good, but have you considered painting them? It would complete the look.

Thats why I painted mine. Looks 10 times better, plus I used back to black a lot, and its not all that great to be honest. Only last a week or so.
