    This is one of my favorite cars of all time, its just a classic car that still looks great today.
    My customer just picked up this car and its perfect, however the paint was a bit different. He brought it to us to get it up to par with the rest of the car.

    Beautiful job Phil. Recently sold my Lusso, but you're making me regret my decision. When I come by maybe I'll pick up another tub :D

    yup Lusso rocks and looks crazy on Power Lock.

    I think you can see that.

    That detail brought a tear to my eye, that is the most beautiful Porsche in my opinion. Some day I will get myself a 993 Turbo in that exact color combination, wow. I saw you apply your Lusso Oro pretty heavily and have to say I do the same only because it spreads so thinly otherwise that I cannot even see where I applied it!

    For anyone interested in Lusso, it is such a pleasure to use and looks like even the most expensive waxes (that I have used anyway) and is enough of a bargain to make it a great impulse buy.

    thanks guys!

    GDAL yup just applied it maybe 30 minutes or so afterwards, didn't pull away from the slickness of the power lock.

    Believe it or not I saw the owner on the road today heading to an appt and let me tell you I saw the car coming down behind me and I had a huge grin on my face the car looks nuts!
