Just some quick pics, very light edits, because I had an hour to do it and I need the practice on every front.
Just exercising. Sigma 50mm/1.4, cloudy, shitty day, but a rarely-clean car.

Looking good. Tough combination of white sided and black topped car to keep clean.

The roof is the worst. It’s carbon under epoxy. So the carbon looks like whatever it wants to look like, but there’s still a clear layer over it.

Ye’, the bonnet and roof are large slabs of area that would show up any imperfection. Good waxes or sealants and careful washing will look after them.

Yup. The front cap (bonnet? hood? whatever, the black nose top) is a total bitch of a scratch magnet. And the paint is softer than Play-Doh, and will get scratched through to the black plastic every chance it gets.
Kind of a pain in the ass. But I wouldn’t be driving anything else, right now.
