Default Dripping wet look paint anyone?

as above:

products used are a secret between me and the owner. but this is the finish achieved after 10 hours spent on his black gold mica impreza today. all i'll say about the products is they are all / were all available from polished bliss. some come on Rich, see if you can guess what they were. your answer on a pm please.

50 / 50

very wet looking paint

polish was menzerna intensive polish on a megs soft buff pad applied with a porter cable. worked all the way off so no residue to speak of left.

secret, practice and not doing it with a hangover

cheers for the comments.

Was Jeff's used in the making of that look ?
I use that on my car (think the pic on View my Scooby was after using it).
