Hi guys

The paint was prep'd quite well during delivery, the black painted pieces around the windows/engine cover/mirrors however had visible swirling - here i used some Menzerna FP on a finishing pad - i first tried a polishing pad but it put in more swirls then it removed

The rest of the car had very very minor swirls, so i first clayed with Z-18 then went Z-AIO + 3 coats of Z5-Pro. The Z5-Pro hid all the swirls nicely.

But the Z-18 clay bar (yellow version) im not all that happy with. It took me forever to remove some stubborn road grime and tar spots, especially around the carbon engine cover and rear bumper where the engine heat had baked them on pretty hard. I think ill invest in the ClayMagic soon

Next day i applied the Swissol Light Cleaner Fluid + Swissol Concorso

The paint changed into a much deeper yellow after applying the Concorso, but hasnt really come out in the pics
