I was so tempted by Gentian with the neodyme wheels after seeing one of the press cars. The iris is extra nice though so can see the motivation.

FWIW, the one thing I've always noticed about Iris Blue is that when it starts to get very small surface scratches it looses a lot of the depth that makes it special. I wrapped my TTS in Prestige ClearGuard Alpha instead of XPEL this time around and, if you're going to do a full wrap, I would recommend it over XPEL. The self healing properties of the film are such that my car still looks brand new with no (I don't mean very small amounts, I literally mean no) surface microscratches. For those with dark colored or black cars I think it's a great choice.

It was cool to see your Touring in person yesterday at Alice's. Definitely looks more purple than Gentian Blue. Great spec (made me want those gold wheels too).

Not very close. Formulas below. Some of the same tints from one to the other, but very different colors.
