Welcome to the site.

That Toronado looks great!

Just give it a good compounding and wax and that should be it!

Welcome. That is one of my favorite colors. I was in Eureka Springs in October. My wife and I stayed at the Arsenic & Old Lace B&B. Nice place and very nice folks. That is a neat part of the country.
