Polished my car yesterday

I spent a few hours polishing my car yesterday. I think it turned out pretty well.

Pics taken by my friend's gf. The first pic is in full sunlight so the metal flakes screw up the reflection a little. The driver's door is a good example on the second pic.

About 5 hours I guess. The interior still needs cleaning though. I'm watching Tokyo Drift on tv, you sir need that veilside kit.

Mine took nearly 9 hours, but i have an 04, and i put 2 coats of wax. Its a pita to do it by hand, i think im going to get one of the hand buffers to do my g/f's car.

What brand of poish did you use?

Yeah, it typically takes me about 4-5hrs to put on a good coat of wax on my baby.
And no qtwre, I do not need that Veilside kit! That thing is God awful! Eliminates all the natural curves of the FD with some flat body panels! Makes the car look like a Noble!
