Some answers:

Products: When I got the car, I had to remove the dealer installed swirls. To remove the swirls, I sued DACP with the PC run at a speed of 5 and worked each section until it dusted. Then I followed up immediately with UPP. Normally I would use Klasse AIO between, but I was happy with the surface quality after DACP. The trick is to work is good and long to break down. Followed with Ultimate Gloss Enhancer, then another coat of UPP, repeat once more. Wheels are done with Klasse AIO and the Klass SG, to help make dust removal easier. The tires are dressed with 4 Star Bazooka tire dressing.

Color: Chiaretto Red It is a pretty neat color, has a deep metallic base and in the sun it looks "bronzish" on the edges and then in the shade it turns to a redder burgundy-red color.
