James, I can totally tell what your style is like in editing and photography, lol. Your editing looks pretty good for a darker image but I think the yellow tone brings out the darkness and reflection of the black paint. Looks really good though.

I prefer the original shot, the chop that GTNPU Z did makes the car blend in too much with the background. The orignal is much more dynamic and as weird as this may sound, the colors and yellow hues make the car pop out more then the chopped. But nice work GTNPU Z!

No - really - is there a product that will make my car look like that? Please tell me now before I wear my arms down to nubs.

You have raised the bar very high, my friend.

Best way is to probably invest in a Porter-Cable

Meguiar's products are great but it's also in the technique and tools you use to apply their products.
