i used his method of polishing in a circular motion and doing it 3 times each step. i am using quite a number of products for the compound/polishing step. have narrowed down the number of products but there's still quite alot. so far every product in the current steps i used seem to improve the shine further (rather significantly). will try to narrow it down further in my next build.

currently trying to settle down to do my interior and undercarriage. xmas was fun

Re: Fujimi RX-7 (Initial D Series)

One thing though, I do believe there is supposed to be a cover over the fog lights.
