Default Noob looking for complments

After years of letting others take care of my cars, I got the S2000 and after learning how difficult it is to paint a car and make it look good, I decided im not trusting my baby to just anybody.....

So over the last week I've washed my car 3 times

The first time with dawn to strip off any old wax

Since then ive applied 3 coats of Zaino Z2, 3 coats of Z6 and the new show car finishing spray 2 times....

How did i do....





Please excuse the size ..... I forgot to resize them before I uploaded them....

I'd like to give you compliments on your work, but those pictures really don't have enough sunlight in them to see what you did.

yes pics are a bit dark, but i can see the wacko in them- no problem!!
very clean car- and hard to get yellow to shine a lot, but i can see shine even in that light-

badge earned and in process!!

if you can post up some more pics, i would love to see some with more light-
if you get a chance, try some carnuaba on part of the car to see if you see any diff... say maybe the rear deck. if you like it, do the rest...
