for reflective purposes (how well its shined/buffed)

I followed BlilBt polishing 101. Just bought some 4' buffing wheels and a power drill adapter. Sanded it real well and then proceeded to use tripoli, then white rouge and then some liquid polish I got from ace hardware.

ya I did mine all by hand it was a bitch. You should've gone a little deeper with the coarse grit, looks good though. The SC is a Pain, if I had to do it over I'd probably send it somewhere
