Looks so good! Out of interest, how long does the "wash, clay, wash, meg1 paint cleaner, meg2 polish, meg ultimate polish, meg3 carnuba wax" take to complete?

It took me about 4 hours this time round as the paint was still fairly good from the last time.

Looks really good. I was a bit dubious about the west wing kit (i know typo). But it does look shweet.
Did you wax your fresh paint?
