I was pretty psyched about it at first. In the right lighting and right after its been waxed it looks pretty good. But once the wax wears off it looks kinda shitty the more I look at it. Its unevenly sanded so its sort of blotchy. If you look at it in the right amount of sunlight at the right distance it looks perfect. If you get too close you can see all the scratches and blotches. It especially looks shitty at night under lights. If I go over it with some 3000 in the spots that need it and do a good buffing job I think i can make it look a lot better. I as honestly rushing after being half way done because i just wanted to finish. SO half the car looks better than the other half haha. I could just be anal but i dunno...I get compliments on it from people that see it up close but im a perfectionist. Even with all of my drawings as an artist growing up, i always thought i could do better. People would look at my artwork and even say its AMAZING but id be like meh its alright. But its getting close to winter so its gonna have to wait anyway. For now I dont care what it looks like. Depending on what I get back for taxes I may just bring it in and get a $400 maaco paint job for it. I still have to pay some people back and get a transmission so well see.

Edit: I stared at my car this morning and as i looked at it i thought for a sec, and went over and dragged my finger across the body. Theres a gross film on it from the wax ive been using which i think might be causing it to look all blotchy and gross. Im gonna give it a good scrubbing to take the film off and see how it looks. Ive actually havnt given it a proper cleanining since i sanded it etc. i just spray it with water then wax and ive waxed it avout once a week. So i bet it has a build up of it on it making it appear the way it does. Well see how it looks after a proper bath. I know better than that too. I always do clean it really good before waxing but i guess lately ive been a bit lazy. Theres probably nastiness and dirt etc. mixed in with the wax and water by itself is definitely not gonna take the old wax off especially just spraying it.
