All Shined Up

Here's a shot of the fd after about 5 hours of washing, cleaning and polishing. I think it came out pretty nice although the resolution of this picture doesn't really do it justice. In 1200x1600 it looks unreal.

I agree, most chrome rims look like *** on an fd but I think mine look good because there very subtle and not too flashy.

I agree with the rims (they would look better if they weren't chrome), but it looks REALLY nice. What products did you use to clean/polish/wax it?
