It's been a few years since I've done car models... but I'm an avid gundam modeler. I need to work on my polishing technique better. :banghead:
Anywho, hopefully this isn't an abomination to the modeling community. :lol: I think it's probably only slightly better than average. The shine isn't too bad... I haven't put any wax on it after polishing it. I haven't found any modeler's wax locally and am unsure of a decent car wax to use in proxy (I live in Japan and am unsure of which brands are decent :cwm27: ).
Anywho.

So, what's the verdict? Any pointers? (yeah, front left wheelwell I rubbed off paint when I tried rubbing out a stupid finger glue mark I made when I stuck the lights in. :banghead: I didn't notice it until I finished putting it together, and figured a quick rub of fine compound would get rid of it... ::sigh::)

No need to beat yourself up. I think it looks pretty good.
