That looks NICE,did you shine the rims and all too ?? can you get some clearer pics ??

[dontspamme]

I left the body on a screw chassis and I sparyed the entire thing from top to bottom. So the rims had some shine on it. Pics arent the best, due to my lights and well, my camera isnt with me, I dont know what happened to it... Notice the theres no flash or anything in the pic with the rims there.:)

armor all on plastic huh?
not really a compound or a wax but if you like a greasy assed Xmod then go for it.
no offensce but i can get a better shin from some compound in about an hour.

Yea, you probably can. But hell, that body might just be for show or for the track when I race. What do you use to get a better shine? I might wash all this off and use yours if I can find some. btw, you didnt reply to my PM yet.

Dupont Teflon wax works well on xmods imo...well painted xmods anyway...3m shine restorer is what i used on that mustang and it came out pretty good, gives it a deeper, wetter look

wether it's for show or not, you cant justify taking more time with an inferior product.

to get a good shine i use a variation of a few products depending on the paint.

if it's stock paint then i'll go with mothers aluminum/mag polish.
if it's my paint then i use graduating steps from 2000grit wetsand.
the base compound is turtle wax medium rubbing compound followed by 3M shine restore and finally tamiya fine rubbing compound.

you can bypass most of these steps by using "ICE" wax by turtle wax but the cost is a bit more.

in regards to your PM, sorry if i didnt get to it but i have quite a few to get to on any given night.
not to mention the fact that you try to dictate how i write my PM's.....
sorry if i'm a bit bitter

[dontspamme]

Well, yea. My RSX is well, slippery, but who cares. When ever you have the time to respond, well respond.
