Yeah it looks like it polished up quite nicely.

Now you should knock it level as suggested by Exit and lay another coat on to it.

What I have seen with Brightside is that when we lay it on with a roller it stays fairly translucent. So when you get the gloss up you can see a few layers down ( and this gives it the depth ).

This is where we get caught making choices... if we thin the paint out with too much ketone the layers are more translucent then if we laid a layer straight out of the can.

Although I initially cut the paint with the brushing fluid for the initial layers... I moved to laying two layers of straight paint once I had acquired the knack of rolling Brightside.

The straight from the can layers contain more pigment or color solids and help block the view of the depth from revealing any flaws on the lower layers.

But I am impressed by the shine you were able to get out of the Brightside.

You mentioned using the finishing compound and polish. Is this the shine you were able to achieve without going to the wax ? Or is your polish a combined polish/wax ?
