Cool.

Re: New from Long Beach, CA
Well... I finished the car today after an unexpected delay when the pad that came on the Porter Cable DA polisher decided to come apart here it attaches to it's built-in back plate. I made a late friday afternoon emergency run 25 miles down to Irvine with zero protection on my paint and luckily Detailing.com had the Lake Country back plate and pads I had ordered.
I must say, those buffing pads I bought are fantastic. Combined with the Porter Cable, after a thorough polishing and coat of Meguiars Ultimate (synthetic stuff) liquid wax, the finish is smoother and more reflective than when I got it brand new, fresh off the transport ship from Germany. I special ordered the car so it didn't sit outside for more than a few hours while I signed my life away in the finance guys office. lol.
I'll shoot pictures in the morning after I clean the wheels and maybe give it a second coat of that wax. I've never used non-carnuba wax and for some reason it just doesn't seem like there's much protecting the paint... probably because it goes on and buffs off so easy.

Ah.. I'm on the other end of town near Seal Beach. 7th and Alamitos can be a pretty tough neighborhood, i hope your location has improved.

It's Meteor Gray Pearl Effect. Depending on the lighting it can look either blue/gray or green/gray. I love the color, especially because Audi's pearl effect colors are not very common. Dealers tend to not order them because of the additional cost and many of them like my last Audi's Sprint Blue Pearl Effect are liked by a very select market.
