Hmm, this is something I take particular interest in.
Its a very dark colour, a high impact colour. How easy is it to get a dark colour to shine like that? - very. I have pictures of my red 97 T/A that are easily equal to it.
Thats not to say the owner hasn't worked hard but as with anything its mostly prep work, and I would hazard a guess and suggest its been colour sanded too.
I'm much more impressed when I see a low impact colour, such as white or silver show a shine. Its much harder to achieve, especially without colour sanding.
damn - I have spent far too long cleaning and polishing cars! :embarassed:
