Wow!

Got my "Ruby Red" dirty at the drag strip last night and spent a couple hours giving her a good clean up. Used new product Blackfire Crystal Seal for the first time and I'm highly impressed. What do you think?

Looks good, next time use ultimate polish.....more gloss and the crystal seal will last longer.

If you were talking to me, I used Ultimate and then the Cristal Seal. This is the best shine I've ever seen on any of my cars.

Thanks.

Yes I'm talking to you, you want to use a polish not a wax before the Crystal Seal so that the Crystal seal binds together with the paint more ....yes it's the best you had, But you can go up one notch......and its perceptible. Durability is better, like months.

Did a dual orbital wax about five weeks ago using Zymol. Today washed Scarlet and put on Meguairs quick wax. Stuff is excellent if you haven't tried it before.

All of these posts are showing an awesome paint job that shines using the usual polishes, methods and elbow grease. I know some have complained about their paint application from the factory, but mine manufactured in December 2015 is perfect...I haven't found a flaw anywhere.

You still have the phastek 1.5 springs? Any issues? How did the top coil sit on the fronts? I'm tired of the wheel gap, dying to lower it. These springs have the perfect stance.
