WOW! they look brand new!
did you buy that compound at the r/c car or model store?
did you do all of it by hand? (no buffing wheel/dremel?)

all was done by hand, took around 20mins for the both of them. yea got the wax and rubbing compound from towerhobbies.com, but im pretty sure they sell it at any hobbie store. finishing grit is 1300.
