Perfecting My Posting

[Got Wax]

Here is a recent job. Again, I am working on improving my posting and storyline structure. I need to hire a sidekick to help taking "Action Pics" so I can get an ongoing process of the job.



Anyway, this is a 1990 F40 that has spent time on the track, in the garage and was just needing some attention. The owner really wanted me to be a bit more aggressive than I felt comfortable being. This car has, what I view as, small fisheyes and he wanted me to wet sand them. My Positest doesn`t read paint on CF and I wasn`t interested in paying for a repaint so, I wasn`t willing to go that aggressive. Bob @ Auto Concierge was great at providing his perspective and position on how he would handle the client.



When I first saw the car, it was just plain dusty and dirty. So, I used the following:



Wheels/Tires: P21S/Megs Med. Clay and APC

Wash: Adams Car Wash w/Uber Wool Mitt

Dry: DD Drying Blankets

Coumpound: Meg 105 on Meg Foam Polishing Pad/9227 Rotary

Polish: Menz PO106A on Uber Final Polish Pad/9227 Rotary

LSP: Hand Applied Swissvax Mystery X 2

Wheels/Tires: Swissvax Autobahn WW/Adams VRT



First shot is of a dirty old Ferrari:

I first got on the wheels with P21S Swisssvax Brush, tires got an APC bath

***!!!?? I can`t seem to get the pic size figured out! Way too small!! I`ve adjusted them before loading them to Photobucket.

[Envious Eric]

cant believe you didnt call me on this one....tisk tisk!



dont adjust before PB...just let them all load up and PB will resize for you. Thats what I do. All my pics are taken straight from camera to computer at the 2400x1800 or whatever size 10.1mp is from a canon xsi

If I would have called you, I imagine most of these pics would have been shot by someone else with both you and me in the background, in beachchairs tipping back Stellas!!!:LOLOL

It just sucks trying to transfer a bunch of pics to photobucket at there regular size..the upload rate on my end must suck, it seems to take forever to just upload like 5 pics, at 8 MP

[Got Wax]

I don`t have a speed problem. For me, it`s all operator error!!

[imported_Jakerooni]
