Some pics of my new GT350 at delivery.

I was worried that I had made a mistake not going with Magnetic again, but the 1st time I saw this car I knew I'd made the right choice. RRM is flat out gorgeous.

I knew I wanted RRM when I saw it. I will pick mine up at the dealership tomorrow. I saw it when it was still a mess from the train ride and sitting in the yard at FR and the final train stop. Even then, the depth and color were just outstanding. I have asked several on this list what they have used to get the great shine and I see that is just how the car comes, all we have to do it to keep it protected.

Congratulations on getting yours, I am right behind you.

Tried to take some pics at the beach in Destin today, but the sun was too low in the sky and I'm a crappy photographer so pretty much nothing turned out well.

Here are the best of a bad lot:

I'm so glad I ordered Ruby Red. Too bad my delivery date is so far out.

Spent about 25 hours this week detailing and preparing the car for some decent photos. Here are some shots I took today on my lunch break (I'm not a photographer - I just make it look good. I leave the photos to my wife).

Ruby Red and the PNW can be a challenge.

Edit - Alright, what gives? the images are hosted on imgur and I am using the insert image option. What am I missing?

Edit 2: Attached.

Don't know. But I want to see the pics. Although, I know Honey Badger don't give a shit.

I'm a blue guy but I have to say that Ruby Red is really tempting.

Holy crap that looks good. What products did u use to detail with. Well done
Thank you!

I am starting a channel that I will post a more detailed video, but essentially:
  • Wash wheels Armor all Wheel Cleaner
  • Foam canon with chemical guys Mr. Pink
  • Compound/polish with Meguiars 105/205 (barely compounded this car - paint was excellent)
  • Removed polish resident with 50/50 running alcohol/distilled water mix
  • Optima Opti-Seal coat
  • Meguiars Ultimate Wax

There were a few steps in between all that, but those are the big product steps

I use a little Husky gas pressure washer (2,200 PSI) from Home Depot that my parents handed down to me. I am hoping to switch to an electric one at some point tho - with all the steps involved in my routine now, starting and stopping a gas one is a hassle.
