This was my 2001 Civic. The reflection is of me in the passenger side door.

The process, if I can remember correctly it was so long ago, was Griot's 3 step polish and Best of Show Wax.

The only way people believe it is a true reflection is by the body line at the top of my head.

[Dave]

Nice! I love black but man is it a job.

If I remember correctly, I polished with Sonus polishes and followed with 2 coats of UPGP, 2 of DWG, and one final coat of UPGP.

I was in desperate need for MF's, but have not been able to buy any cause I'm broke because my wife is not working as she is staying home with our newborn. This really comes in handy.
