Red RX8

I detail this car and his wife's Land Rover (wednesday) about every 8 months.

No picture of the interior work. I finished a 2:30pm and the pictures would have looked bad.

Exterior Process

5 HOURS

Armor all wash
Meg's red clay
Presta 1500/OHC orange pad (rotary on hood) pc 6
CG's Extreme Coat to protect pc 4 finishing pad
Hyper Dressing 3:1 on tires
Grape Dressin on tires/trim

Re: Red RX8

Very nice, looks very deep and wet! On the 4th picture, is that micromarring or is it metallic red?
