Just finished a medium polish --> fine polish --> glaze --> sealant on last Saturday. The effect is damn good..... Those who want a shinny mirror wet look finish, recommend to use glaze.

I dont think thats gonna work buddy! you want to get it done properly... you will then also have to mask off bits too!!!!

It is easier to get someone to do it.

I have booked in Keepre for re-doing the coating just after CNY...
