your car looks superb! Have you considered swapping out the amber side markers?
I've changed my mind... I no longer like the orange on my black boxster.

Thanks, Randall. I've been thinking about it. Where do I find them and how much?

Ebay, $35 or so and your dealer. Cheap mod and makes the car look a lot more current.

Looks awesome, do you have a shot of the full side of the car in the sunlight? Freshly waxed black cars look nice.

Wow, that looks incredible! I have been using Klasse all in one and then Klasse sealant and mine does not look that glassy. I have the Basalt black so I'm not sure I could ever get it as shiny as that. Great job!

I had used the Klasse twins since I got the car and (don't tell the guys on Autopia) thought the labor to satisfaction ratio was kinda lacking. I mean, at least three coats of the SG with a 12 hour wait in between, and you have to apply it so thinly you can't even tell you put it on? Too much effort for this lazy guy. So I tried the P21S products which were a breeze to use and I'm happy. BTW, I've been buying my detailing products from www.sportscarcare.com, and found their prices to be very good, and they typically ship the day your order is received.

I love the Klasse twins but if I had a black car or other rich, deep color, I'd use carnauba as a topper. Can't beat the depth of shine. Menzerna FMJ is purported to come very close to match the gloss of a carnauba, but I've never seen it on a black car. Has anyone?

I always thought carnauba over Klasse SG was overkill.
It already looks like candy after many coats.
I layered it daily for 30 days once and it turned every head that I drove past.
The Sonus Acrylic Spritz was excellent for working out any streaking and keeping the shine.
I have silver so I pretty much only us S100 with the Sonus Carnauba Spritz.
It looks fantastic at night, spectacular in the sunlight and great at dusk.
