Needles - Here's the run down of what I did to the car

Wash and Clay
Optimum Compound by Porter Cable with yellow cutting pad
Optimum Polish (old formula) by PC with orange light cutting pad
Poorboy's EX-P Sealant by PC with grey polish/sealant pad
Clearkote's Carnauba Moose Wax by PC with red final pad

The car could have used another round of Optimum polish with a polishing pad as there are still a few imperfections left by the cutting pad. It was very dark out though and I had to call it a night so I finished up with the sealant/wax. I wish I would have started working in the morning. I only have one yellow cutting pad and I had to clean it half way through as it started to cake, didn't expect that and by the time it was dry the sun was already going down

105wrx - nope, it's here in Fremont/San Ramon/Danville area. The Rota P45R Time Attack wheel is really popular though, lots of black Z running around with them

This is getting me hyped for my super spring detail. I'm just waiting for the sun to shine. The car looks great as well, especially when compared with the before pictures. The z remains the only car that I think can pull of time attacks.
