Great work Scott! I always enjoy your threads. I love how you describe in detail the products used, last detail and brief history of each car.
Few questions here:

1. what did you think of the new 2006 BMW 330ci. How was the paint, fit and finish of the vehicle, and did it appear larger then the previous model line(e46)

2. How did you like the Porsche? Did you get to drive it at all?

That is the effect of the long rays of the setting sun in the background. Unfortunately, I don't have much control over where the cars are when I take pictures.

1. I like the exterior of the E46's more than the new E90's, but the fit and finish looked excellent and the orange peel is minimal. The interior is definitely larger, looks almost as large inside as the previous generation 5's.

I do think the E90's are less bangled than the 5 and 7.

2. The Porsche is beautiful! Really nice metallic black paint too. I backed it up to make sure the tires were completely dressed but that was it.

nice work- you use different products for what seems to be similar colors. Any reason for your choices.

Thanks

Sometimes I am just trying out new combinations, other times I just have a feel for what would look best.

If there was a money tree, I would have harvested it!

The Carrera S is owned by one of my brother's customers (my brother has a computer business) and the young lady who owns the 330ci (6 speed, no less!) is a TSA supervisor. Not sure what her Mom does though.

Most of my customers are pretty well off...luckily for me!

Spectacular, Scott!!!

Geez, that 911S is dripping! If you wouldn't have shown those sun shots, I would've thought it was flat black!!!


Awesome wetness on the 330i, also!!

You never cease to amaze me...
