There's a full moon tonight, and I'm going to try to get a few pics of the car with the moon just above the car. I have to find out when moonrise is tonight.

Oh well, either way you did a fantastic job on that car, and keep the sunset pics comin'.
The second picture looks a little "brighter" ?? But I agree, they both look really sharp!
The Protege is really looking awesome, Paul. I'm looking forward seeing it glowing in the lunar light!!
Since my V shows so poorly in daytime pics, I'd be really interested in learning how to take some night shots with my Sony DSC-P7.

All I did was wipe it down with a wet WalMart MF towel, let it dry, and applied the Gummipflege. It makes the rubber so soft and black...


Would a treatment of this Gummipflege, or something similiar (suggestions?) take care of wax-stained stripping?

Hmm... The bottle says it "cleans and protects all rubber seals". I haven't tried it for that purpose yet.

I can tell you this though. If you buy a bottle and it doesn't remove the staining, you'll still be happy with your purchase after you use it. If it doesn't remove the stain, use something else to remove it, and then use Gummipflege to protect the seals.

I know I can do better. The sunset last night was not anything spectacular by any means, so obviously that cut down on the quality of the shot. It just got done raining here, and the clouds are starting to move out, so I've got to go wash/QD the Protege and maybe get some more sunset shots if the colors are nice.

Oh, so if I'm ever in the area and in need of somebody to drive me away from, say, a drug bust I know who to call.

Sure, if you're really good at guessing phone numbers.

Very nice picture. The car looks great and the venue/sunset is awesome.
