Greg, would you mind share what you use to make all your aldabra shell so shiny? :D

Do you use some kind of oil?

I just kept waiting and hoping that you would admit to buffing with Turtle Wax . . .

LOL

Simply amazing, looks like you clear coated them like a car!! OR judging by how douched the ground is..... you keep them spotless and have someone soak them and then you snap the picture when they are soaking wet to get that nice film of water reflecting your flash! AH HAH FIGURED IT OUT!! lol but old fashion water and sun could work :D

Thank you for the photos!!

Now this is something I am familiar with :D

Shiny is good, but this seems more natural
