Looks great man.



Just a suggestion if you will, try using the cheap foam tire dressing on the wheel wells instead of the more expensive PBs NL. A can lasts me a long time, just food for thought.



How do you like the presta polishes? Do they dust much? Can you compare them to Menzera SIP or 106FF?
 
My initial impressions of Presta are very positive. It lays down a killer gloss, cleans up defects well, and finishes down as good as anything I've ever used.
 
Probably the shiniest Lacrosse...ever! Beautiful. :)



How is that black to maintain? My only experience with Lacrosse paint has been the light blue color, and it's hard enough that the car hasn't been polished at all since new (Jan. 2006) and it still really only has really light marring.



Anyways, stunning work. ;)
 
GBG, You guys did some great work on that paint again. A very nice deep gloss.



Glad you guys found the presta to your liking.
