Found this pic on DODO Juice website, was quite impressed. Discuss...



DODO JUICE FORUMS :: View topic - "last" Cerbera gets juiced (http://www.dodojuice.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=82)



EDIT:

Lord the rest o the web site`s design is atrocious isn`t it? It breaks every rule of marketing 101.

Looks like a dang mirror. For $32 bucks I think the purple haze is worth a try.

And from what the author said, there wasn`t much prep. I`m assuming the car was in good condition to begin with, but that is quite impressive never the less.

Really flat paint will shine like that with nothing on it if it`s polished properly.

I wouldn`t put much stock in those photos (or any photo for that matter). You can trick a camera to show anything, and then you can photoshop it.



Here you go. No Photoshopping at all. Straight out of HP digital camera. No trick lighting. Guess what LSP was used!

That`s why I rarely upload photos...they`re meaningless.



If you want to try a LSP and review it, great! Just don`t make your decision based on a photo.

the suns position really helps enhance shots like that. you could take a pic on the other side of the car and barely capture an image most likely.

Totaly agree.



I also agree that flat paint that is polished to perfection with no LSP on it will look exactly like that. No matter what LSP comes out and no matter how much the inventor or faithful followers say it means nothing and will do nothing if the paint isnt polished to perfection or at least close to it.

Very true. :up



But my point is photos, with or without LSP, are inconclusive.

Yeah, don`t put much stock into those pics like mentioned. Here is a picture of the passenger side door of my 2001 Civic after a polish and a wax.

A polarizing filter on any camera will dramatically enhance the gloss or depth of shots. I guess these days I don`t trust any picture I trust the person.

That DoDo pic upsets me. It is that same overexposure issue I HATE so much about so many pics on our forums. As I mentioned during my last rant in a C&B thread, practically ANY paint and ANY product would look flawless if the picture itself is over-exposed enough, which this DoDo one is, intentionally or not. I know I mention this issue much too often, but it really p!sses me off.



Mind you, being a photographer, I am not against Photoshopping a picture, and neither should anyone else. PS is the modern day version of the dark room. No camera, no matter how good its CCD might be, can ever capture a scene quite like the human eye does. So using using the PS "dark room" to bring that pic as close to reality as possible, is a great thing and should be done. But using it for any other reason (i.e. creating a new reality) is just plain unfair.



I am not implying that this pic was PSd, the light may have just thrown off the camera`s metering, but far too many people use the "dark" side of PS on these forums.
