Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
By far the best example of what a clean car looks like.
Leading evidence: 'Clean car looks like' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Clean car looks like' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You need to see OE's (Orient Express) 02+ Orient Red CAB. By far the best example of what a clean car looks like. Plus it helps that the paint is just in perfect glossy shape. He has several posts with pics of his cars so just do a search for his userID.
Yes, I saw those pics (i did a search), thanks. So you're saying that it's a great color. Looks great in pics, just want to make sure I'll like that color when I see it in person
Originally, I wanted Arena Red, which was not available as a standard color in 2002 so I opted for Orient Red. Look at one in person, and in different light and you will agree. Besides Silver, Black, Grey, and Yellow are all Lemmings Colors.
Because of the way that the metallic particles are laid up in Orient Red, and the color of the particles (blue silver), depending on the time of day it changes to different shades of Red:
Dawn and Twilight - Arena Red or Burgandy
Noon - Guards Red
Early afternoon and late morning - Candy Apple Red
Late afternoon - Raspberry Red
Of course Arena Red is one of the 1% colors so it is going to be unique.
Orient Red looks best with either Graphite Grey or Natural leather interior.
You mean like the picture below?
J/K, actually, I like the other colors, too, but Arena Red is my fave. Arena Red was last a standard color in 2000.
There are several metallic reds, but they are all very different:
Orient Red - more "candy apple" red
Arena Red - more "burgundy" purple
Carmon Red - more "cinnamon" brown
I would say MJones' attachment is pretty representative of the actual color in real life maybe with just a tiny hint too much orange and a hair too dark. Reds are difficult for a lot of digital cameras. Many of Orient Express' pictures also show an orange or pink cast probably due to the sunset/sunrise/etc. I had a Sony digital camera that always gave reds an orange cast.
Here is a good general reference of interior/exterior colors, but note the colors aren't always the most accurate. Yoseif's Boxster Gallery (includes plenty of non-Boxsters, so don't worry):

See the Compare Colors link, too, but the picture for Orient Red vs Arena Red is too orange, and the Arena Red looks almost Carmon Red. Another red metallic is Zanzibar Red, but it is more of an orange. I don't think I've even seen one in real life.
