Did some work on the interior - in good shape just needed to be cleaned.

Used some woolite to wash the carpets and Leatherique Rejuvinator Oil and Pristine Clean for the seats. Looks pretty good now.

Paint looks great but could use some work to get rid of some swirls and water spots like this.

This is after I washed and clayed it. Will do a polish and post an after picture.

Used a Porter cable polisher and was able to get rid of all water spots and most of all the swirl marks. Paint looks great.

Stunning results. Dr. Porsche would be proud of your work. Great car deserving that great job on the paint correction. I've heard good things about the HD products. Now go ahead and protect all that hard work with a nice coat of wax or sealant. My personal choice on that color would be a wax to bring out the warmth and depth of that rich red.
