92MX83 - heh heh, this island can be so small at time.
04Cobra - thanks. sometimes it's hard getting nice pictures. i'm glad those came out the way i wanted and showed the flakes and the gloss really nicely.
Way2SSlow - i'd only like the cops to know me for having the nicest Mach1. they don't need to know that i've gone blasting around on the freeway, which is totally untrue.
timmah - thanks for info on cleaning the interior. i might try rinsing the mats the next time and see how that works. and the best things i've learned about having a police officer for a friend is 1) always be polite to them, they might just give you a warning; and 2) don't get a cop mad at you cause they know how to hurt you.
Lowejackson - a turbo diesel? the mazda6 comes with a turbo diesel in the UK? cool.
Mike - thanks! i used #16 for its durability, but you're right, its crystal clear look is great for that color.
