Default polished rota slipstreams

I've been really wanting to fully polish my slipstreams, but I searched and didnt see actual slipstreams on a car except on my green civic. I wanted to know if anyone has them on their car that has pics on a white civic or whatever color I just want to get a better picture of what they look like before i go and do this. And any tips would be appreciated.

I'm gonna polish them this weekend so if anyone got some good tips let me know. I'm also going to try to just use steel wool instead of sanding. I'll post pics once im done. wish me luck

Incorrect. Full Royal means a polished face. Just like Full Royal Sports Bronze (the dull sports bronze color is polished to give a more volk like color)

When Rota does Full Royal on Silver, Gunmetal, or Steel Grey, it gives that mirror face look (polished)

they do make it in full polished finish. It's under "full polish steel grey" or "full royal steel grey". It sure beats having to repolish them when they get dull. heres how they look after u polish them--&gt; https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=575886
