Thanks guys. The paint job was new in December, overall a great job, but had a few swirl marks in it. A friend of mine owns a detail shop, I let him go after it. He did a several step process, washed, clay bared, washed again, wet sand a few spots on hood & roof, wash again, paint correction done, then a ceramic coating process that is good for roughly 3 years, no waxing needed. Water won't hardly stay on it when you wash it he said. I haven't gotten it wet yet, except for today I had a couple of raindrops hit the windshield. They just flew off like what rain-x does. It sure is slick, he did a great job, just made the paint job that much better. Plus, no buffer trail marks at all!

Is that the factory Electron Blue color? And lets see some interior pics. I love that mod red interior on a blue car for some reason.

Chrome is so 90s "bling bling" tackiness, Blue with black looks much better/sportier:

Welcome to the Forum!
Very nice Z06 (and also like the red blown pick up next to you in the one photo).
