Mate, that looks excellent! I need to do this after I pick up my new car (Mon
)
And re Black: 100% Had 2 and total PITA. Silver/Metallic Grey/Bright colours are easier to keep looking clean. Especially in dusty locales.

FWIW - I've tried a bunch here in town with past vehicles, and there is one guy who runs the internal detail shop at the Lexus dealer that does good work, everybody else might as well be Delta Sonic ;-)

Finally got around to a full professional detail of my 2014 4S cabriolet. After almost two years with this car I had reached the following conclusions:
1. I should have purchased one sooner.
2. My next 911 will not be black.
After getting it detailed and having Ceramic Pro applied, I might be changing my mind about #2. It looks amazing, better than when I took delivery. I am very curious to see how it 'ages'. I was told to be careful with it for the next two weeks, as the application takes time to fully cure.
FWIW, if anyone reading this is in Western New York, I couldn't find a shop in Buffalo (I live in Orchard Park) that I was comfortable with or even knew about the different semi-permanent coatings, so I ended up taking it Perfection Auto Detailing in Rochester, NY.
Pictures attached.

When I first bought my car I had it professionally polished, then quickly determined I could learn how to do it myself. About $1000 investment and several you tube videos later I was doing a pretty good job. With a little practice easily as good as a pro. I know black it tough, especially my non-metallic. But when it shines it really shines. I may consider carmine red next time. In the mean time black is good as long as you can polish it yourself and not have to pay retail.
