That is an insane shine!

Awww, com'on and fess up now....you got more going for you there than just some Zaino and a little elbow grease.

You've done some serious machine buffing and wet sanding before you ever laid down your first coat of polish. GM simply isn't capable of producing a factory finish like that!

Damn!...but that's nice, though.:cool: :cheers: :thumbs:

Only slightly guilty man... :leaving:

But this is MOST definitly a factory paint job (orange peel is real bad on this one). I am planning on a repaint at some point, then and only then will it truly be on!

Thanks for all of the compliments folks, but WHERE ARE YOUR PICS???

I have seen pics on this board that make mine look like I took 80 grit to it.

c-mon now... :D

:cheers:

Meguiars ScratchX will take care of that for you:thumbs:

Shhhheeee......it! I ain't seen nuttin' that even comes close to that mirror-like shine you have, save for maybe a couple street rods.

Here's the best I can do with my "orange-peely" torch red.

You definitely got "first place" in my book!:thumbs:
