Picked up my new toy yesterday (pics inside)
BlackSpeed, absolutely gorgeous car. I love the sport technos painted black. Looks incredible, and the sport design package looks great too. Well done! Enjoy and drive it in good health!
Haha, thanks everyone! I came home at lunch and took it for a quick spin (2hrs)
I forgot about lunch, haha.
I'm waiting for my CR Spotless system to arrive today and then I need a day warm enough to wash it (it's about 25F today). The dealer prep was typical horror show with minor swirls and tiny scratches. Everything will buff out, but it's still ridiculous. Not sure if I'll get time for a full detail before winter storage, but she needs it. The car is beautiful! I've taken a few business friends out for rides, everyone loves the car. Got a thumbs up arm out the window today from a young guy, it's great. No middle fingers or spit, yet
I know a couple pick up truck guys were thinking about it

You may want to consider having your car prepped by a pro. I know your in Massachusetts, I would highly recommend Unique Car Care in Stoneham. Rick just does amazing work. I had Xpel Ultimate and a coat of Opticoat, I'm extremely happy with the results. Check out his facebook page for more info:

He's well worth the drive from anywhere in NE in my opinion. He just prepped a Cayenne and a cls 55 for my dad. I don't have any connection to Rick other than a very happy customer.
CT Spotless is awesome, been using it for years. Check out an air blaster to dry your car, equally impressive.

Well aware of Rick Rack and I sent my buddy his way with his euro delivery m3. Heard great things about Rick and his team. I've been detailing my own cars for over 15 years and consider myself a pretty good novice detailer. I have a lot of equipment, but less and less time. I'd prefer someone who comes to me for detailing vs going to a shop. Just my preference. Will see how my time and back hold out. At some point, I'll have to outsource the detailing!
Cheers
Thanks for the input. I met the owners of Master Blaster at an AMG event, good guys. My only problem with the product or any leaf blower application is it can and will kick up some dirt and grit from the ground below. This dirt/grit can be a problem when polishing/waxing the car after since it settles on the paint. For a wash and dry application, it's good, but I wouldn't follow up with any type of polish/wax after using Master Blaster/leaf blower.

Thank you, your car was an obvious inspiration! When searching for black ducktail with sport technos, your car was the only one pictured on the net! I think it looks amazing together. Happy Thanksgiving to all my 991 brethren!
