What products did you use? Was it machine polished?

Looks machine polished.
If you want to add depth I would start with something like this.
Pre wash - snow foam.
Tar remover. Clay bar and fallout remover.
Hand dry.
Paint cleaner - dodo juice lime prime is quite good
Machine polish if you have stuff to do so.
If not
Showcar polish or glaze. I like poorboys black hole
Sealant - or use chemical guys wet mirror finish.
Good wax.

Yeah machine polished. I have a porter cable, but it always looked like that. Main reason for selling was the maintaince of keeping it like that

Have you considered the ABP eibachs? Would suit yours perfectly bud.

Car looks great, similar set up to me (great minds think alike lol).

OK, I'm thinking of refurbing my spare set of OEM wheels (currently standard colour and kerbed!). I'm contemplating either gold, for something different, or white. I've used my amateurish Photoshop skills to see what both options look like. I'm hoping to use these as track wheels.
