Brett, you know I trust your judgement but I would have said the trunk looks much too shiney to me. I thought the upper dash, soft top storage area and trunk were supposed to be very flat. Apparently not so?

It's just the lighting. There is flourescent lighting in the shop, right above the car, in the picture.

All of the red was shot with a flattener in the clear. All of the non buffed white areas were falttened as well. (jams, door shells, trunk, hood, decklid openings) I don't make those areas "very flat", just flattened. Those areas almost look and feel like non buffed lacquer.
