For those of you that were contributing to my Collinite thread here: http://www.autopia.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30444&perpage=18&pagenumber=1
And those of you that weren't here are the latest pics of my car detailed with DACP and a yellow pad (to remove some marring on the trunk lid and rear bumper caused by someone brushing up against the car over Thanksgiving) GEPC with a white pad, EX applied by PC with a grey pad, and one coat of Collinite 476s applied by PC with a grey pad. I plan to at least do one more coat of the 476 (I would have today but I was out of towels!) then may top with S100.
The pictures aren't as sharp as some, my one megapixel digicam is showing its age. I plan to give my fiance a 5 MP one for christmas (shhh), I'll enjoy that too
This is just an overall shot I always take of the car after a detail:
This is a right rear quarter shot. I was trying to capture the way the sun creates a burst of red on this color. The Collinite had the interesting effect of bringing out the gold flake in the paint, so under parking lot discharge lighting it has a real bronze tint that the EX didnt give it. Very cool.
This is a reflection shot of me from the hood. Never done one, just thought I should
This is the same shot, just this time with a flash. The flash was an accident but I like how it shows the way this color explodes when light hits it.
Please, post comments!

, looks clean and sharp. No swirls that I can see and plenty of reflections. 
But I understand how him parting with "his" New Beetle would be emotional for him. HA! Actually, I just remember how he always said he wanted a Porsche.
