    anyways, did you hand sand 220 until it was evenly hazy and smooth? if it wasnt evenly hazy everywhere... then it will not be shiny.

    if you have time and enough materials, i recommend that you machine sand ( orbital or DA ) until it is very very smooth and hazy... it should be nowhere near rough. then from there you wetsand 400-600-800-1000-15-2 and buff either by hand or machine until spickingly shiny.

    those were the same exact instructions i told southside and it worked perfectly when he did it that way, examples














    dont mind the whoreage

    Yea I gave him the same instructions from Honda-tech.That you gave me I dont know how his didnt turn out that fye.....But alot of people tend to like to rush it and it usually takes some time before you get the Bling Bling factor
    Stupid Clean Super Lights

    Stupid clean Fat Fives



    Stupid CLean LS MESH

    Last but not least I just did these like 2wks back Buddyclubs reps

    Maybe its just because I got a better method of :jerkit: which = Better Shine with touch of Extra Sauce or White stuff
