Perfection... I'm hoping to come across one during the summer when I am back working... If I can't find one I've been toying with the thought of the re-amemiya d1 facer evo... But we will see...

Here's a quick iPhone shot of my VR 8 on a rare sunny day in Scotland after I washed, paint cleansed, clay-bar'd, polished then wax'd with Natty's red paste, and reconditioned all leather and carpets. The car was probably better than when delivered.

Natty's red paste is awesome! I use all Poor Boy's products. I apply it by hand.

The quality of their stuff is excellent. I use the wax on windows as well and for weeks afterwards I didn't have to touch the windscreen wipers, drive at anything over 30mph and the window clears itself!

I love Poor Boy's as well. My old set up was EX-P plus old fashion white Natty's to top it. Great depth with the carnuaba combo. My new favorite is Klasse AIO + SG. I've had it for quite a while but never bothered to put it on VR since it is a very clear looking sealant that usually only looks good on light cars.

I have found that with a perfectly prep surface and SG, the flakes pop like no other. The clarity of the SG definitely helps in that aspect. Not to mention it is a very reliable sealant that can be layered.

Hey, Choosing red caliper covers or just painting them red? where can i get good priced red sidemarkers/corners? yes i checked ebay they want $80 and this forum, nothing good enough yet. I'm off work till january so I have lots of time to play with my 8, but obviously need to buy the parts for my newest ideas asap. RX-8 CLEAR CORNERS Side-Marker Light Set - Red | eBay
they have red backing but clear front? maybe this will look good?
also noted the Natty's red paste. I hope to get my hands on some of that.

This is the most beautiful I've ever seen velocity red get in my life.

I like the color but I feel like it sticks out. I prefer to be incognito.
