Actually, it's just a fresh paint job, though it still shines very well. There is only 2 coats of clear, I actually wanted 3. The base coat is 100% black. Not a single other color mixed. If it's painted right, it'll shine. When I took those pictures I have no wax or anything on the car. I'll take more about a month or two down the road when I can wax it and when I get the cowl on.
