A few nice pics after a buff/polish job
After 2 years of slacking i finally had the car buffed out. Paint is buttery smooth and even whiter now! So i decided to take a few pics the other night. Wish i had a tripod with me though....

I had my friend who does tinting/detailing do it so i don't know what he used exactly. But being that i used to work with him doing detailing, i can tell you that he clay bard it, then hit it with some compound and a semi agressive buffing pad, then some polish and a less agressive pad, then probably some finishing touches with lighter polish, then wax

ohhh i gotya. No it's still stock paint. Actually the JDM rear is Wicked White though, you can kind of see that it's different in certain pictures. Because i bought it pre-painted from Mitsubishi and they only had Wicked
