Malbec

Nothing better than Malbec paint in the sun after 6 hours of polishing. One of my favorite colors. Got all the spider webs & swirls out.

very nice, finish looks great. love the depth of color. only thing i don't like is how you parked so close to the buggy return stall near the congested front of the parking lot! lol.

now that you own it, add an OEM rear trunk lip and then vinyl wrap that window trim.

Funny, I ordered the trunk spoiler last night! I already have the front chin so it should complete the look.

I used a lot of products, mostly Menzerna products. My final coating is FMJ a product no longer available. Blackfire is another good finish to lock in the shine. There are newer products on the market I have yet to try. When I exhaust my supply I will try some.
Next up is Menzerna Powerlock. These are sealants so use them as the last coat.

Menzerna polishes are the best I've used. Good choice. Wolfgang deep gloss paint sealant is the **** though. I'd recommend that over Power lock. Although power lock is good too. Menzerna does';t make crappy products, but neither does Wolfgang.

How is it when you take it off? Is there a lot of powder buildup? That is my only complaint with the sealers I currently use.

Wolfgang DGPS doesn't leave a powdery residual behind. It's very easy to apply and remove as well. Awesome product. Extreme shine and a solid 3 months durability.

Funny but I didn't use anything but soap. Maybe the tire gel slung off, lol.
Here is a shot from last week after my read deck spoiler install.
