    This took an insane amount of time, but it was so worth it. Has anyone else done this before?

    HOLY BALL$$ Audi released a concept car about 10-15 years ago that was entirely polished aluminum. I have been dreaming about a car that looks like that ever since then. That's astonishing!

    that's incredible-i've always wondered what that car would look like polished to a mirror. That's got to be difficult to drive next too on the freeway!

    There are certain concepts that I have trouble comprehending: the depth and breadth of the universe, sub-atomic particles, the space-time relationship, muons that travel faster than light, why women are always right, and now you've added a new one for me - just how long it took to get that perfect finish and how you did it.
    That's just spooky shiny. Great work.

    Along with loads of wool ,and probably general foam pads as well,the potential products I can think of for the job, of course, are the Mothers and Megs metal polishes, English Custom Metal Polishes, Rolite, and the Wolfgang/Blackfire aluminum polish kits-->I now have one, and I've played around with it a little bit. Later this Fall I plan to polish up all of my exhaust ,especially the heat shields.

    Nice work I think detailing this car makes black cars look easy. Also these cars took like 10 seconds to hit 60mph car looks faster than it is, still I like them.
