    Sorry, I don`t mean to be critical, but to me it doesnt look polished at all.. Perhaps its the camera angle or the camera???Can u post some more pics perhaps in sunlight or with a halogen? Sometimes for me it takes quite a few tries to get the right reflection in a picture before I can post it here.. How come there looks to be water droplets on the paint.. like when you wash it then dry it and miss a few spots. Was it begining to rain? Also was this done by hand or with a machine?

    just got done raing and you can see some orange peel but she didn`t want any paint correction and didn`t want a buffer on it so it was done by hand

    A better camera would show your work better but it looks pretty good to me. I would clean up the wells a little, though.
