Talking Is this shiny?

Ok, i've busted my butt preparing for a large concours coming up. Kinda nervous about my finish cause I somewhat departed from my normal formula. I tried some new stuff, and did the entire car by hand this time. Don't want to reveal what's different until after tomorrow though. (being a perfectionist is annoying)

I will say however, detailing is sooo damn relaxing! It's amazing, I finished up today doing my final prep and then I realized something...I hadn't even once thought about music, work, school, obligations, damn I didn't think about anything!!!! What a good feeling. That alone makes ownership of one of these cars worth it. People always complain they need a vacation...so few realize how easy it is to have one whenever you want. Porsche, there is no substitute!

Looks fantastic...terrific depth! I want to do a final detail for the year on my 84' hence I am curious as to what you used. I still have some Zaino to use up first.
