I just finished correcting the paint. Oh man, this thing came out great! I must say this has been my finest work.
I needed to remove the wing and compound the engine deck lid and wing. The rest of the car only needed a finishing polish after decon.
Also, I installed the Sharkwerks Bypass and Tips. I didn't want to take the car out with all of bugs after dark, so I'm not sure what it sounds like yet.
I have several hours of video that I need to edit and get uploaded, so stay tuned.

I was surprised that my most all of my paint was in good shape accept the rear engine lid and wing. There were a bunch of straight line scratches and a pretty nasty hologram. I'm guessing the scratches came from the factory wet sanding. You don't normally get straight lines from washing of drying. I'm guessing they were factory installed because the rest of the car wasn't in bad shape.
But to answer your question, I've never seen a new car that doesn't need to be corrected. Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc.

Sapphire Blue vs. Monte Carlo Blue
I was out at Cars and Coffee on Sunday. We decided to pull the two Monte Carlo Blue M5s next to my Sapphire Blue 911. There are varying shades to both colors depending on the angle and lighting. In person, the Sapphire is just a tiny bit darker blue. If you are thinking Sapphire and can't see one in person, find an M5 in Monte Carlo. It is very, very close.

Hey Money,
Will you be doing some form of detailing write up?
Interested to see before and after, 50/50, usual decontamination photos, pad and polish combo etc etc
I too am a bit of a detail nut.
FYI, love the detail that you put into your posts, it really gives people like me a great picture of your ownership experience.
Cheers

Thanks Money - do you have a purchase list for materials? Lastly, where does waxing come to play in all this?
Are you going to put any film protection?
Thanks and great job!
