That really looks fantastic. Did you really use five different polishes and waxes though? That must have taken forever.

Yes this was the exact stuff I used:
Wash with Optimum No Rinse
Claybar
Optimum Hyper compound with a Lake Country white pad
Optimum Polishing compound with a Lake Country gray pad
3M 06068 machine polish with a Lake Country blue pad
Optimum Opti-seal
Poorboy's natty red Wax



It took me about 5 hours on the S2K since there isn't much paint because it's a small car with no roof, bigger cars with more paint take longer, for example my NSX took about 7 hours start to finish.
