Looks great! When you look at it in the sun can you see any swirl marks? i am wondering because I have a new 2007 and it appears that I already have swirl marks.

Thanks

Yes, there are swirl marks. I thought this was normal?

Nice job, what wax did you use?

It would ruffly translate to "Gomez's Shinny Wax".

I love your sig. . .

You sure got the last part right!

Nice looking shade of pull-me-over-red

Just put another 5500 miles on our Boxster by driving it round trip to the Parade. It's been in the last 7 Parades including the Concours Paddock, but I have yet to wax it!!!

One interesting thing is after my stereo died the new one they installed sounds a lot better. It is suppose to be the same unit but I am wondering if Porsche is quietly upgrading them without admitting that the original sucked.

I have been having great success with maquires NXT after a clay bar job on a 2002 boxter S it made it look amazing.

swirls are "normal" but for many, not acceptable. My black boxster had some serious swirls and what looked like scratches and a good buff with Menzerna products followed by some Klasse all in one, then a carnauba wax on top of that and there are no swirl marks or scratches.

It's all in what you use and how you apply it. Wax alone probably won't get that new car shine.
