It's fine, it's actually further than it looks. unless there is an earthquake (we don't have them here). I am not worried about it. Thanks for the concern though.

Having the same black on black C2S I sympathize with the effort needed and am rightly jealous right now with the shine you have managed to extract out of it - how long did it last?

looks awesome and now makes me want to ad the same mods to mine now... especially the front, wing and rims...!

great job

It's running great, thanks for asking, I'm still loving it, 500+ horses is plenty for me. Gets me doing this every time I step on it.

GREAT looking.

Q. How difficult is it to apply 3 coats of Klasse sealant glaze ?

I hear while it is good, that 100% carnuaba wax gives a greater shine ?

Any thoughts ? I ask, as I have a black 996TT and while my car looks great, I am looking for something to put on as a top coat to bring out the ultimate shine.

Thanks and PLS advise - JIM

1. Not very difficult, squeeze dime size sealant glaze on a damp (not wet) cotton pad, spread it one area at a time, let it dry, then buff. Here is the link for this procedure. http://www.autogeek.net/klasse-usa.html

I have the P21S as well, different people will have different opinions. I had great results with the Klasse Sealant glaze, it gives it a 'wetter look', I think the P21S gives it better protection but my car doesn't see much sun, so it's not as important to me. It's either parked in the home garage or work garage. Try what works for you.

Stuart the photographer took over 500 photo's, he said it will take a week's time to select good ones and edit them. I think he will post pictures, if not, I'll grab it from him and post, regardless you will get to see it shortly after I do.
