Great pics Scott. Those picture CD`s get expensive after a while, at about $8 a shot at my local developer. I shoul have gotten a digicam.
Yeah, but 35 mm takes much better pictures than any digital camera, plus I have the CD, the negatives and the prints. I have 8 full books of pictures of cars I`ve detailed, along with about 200 more pictures I have no room for. All in all, probably 1500 or so car pics.

BTW, I got a great pic of my car reflected off a black Mercedes AMG S55 today...just dropped off the roll at Wolf Camera, so hopefully I will have time to post the pic tomorrow after I pick up my pictures and picture CD.
:nono You can`t fool me, you had the extra images airbrushed on.
No way can a silver or white car have that kind of reflection.
If I remember correctly, you do all this by hand, right? Unbelieveable.:up

Scottwax has gotta have arms like Popeye!
I never get tired of looking at those pics. I`d like to see every one of them!
:xyxthumbs :bow
I was complaining after another coat of Z today. I`ll shut up now.
I was gonna say Zaino for reflectivity but after seeing all of the P21S pics..................

After lifting weights on and of for around 20 years and then the last 9 rubbing out cars by hand...yeah, I`ll admit to some decent guns! My 15-year-old son benches well over 200 pounds and I haven`t lifted weights in years yet when we arm wrestle, I pin his arm in about a second flat.
BTW, I do get tired at times, but I`ve got another 20 pounds to lose (down 17 since the end of June), so I look at it as a way to earn money and burn fat at the same time. ;)

Those are great pictures for light coloured cars, but I was referring to the "chrome-like" reflection you can get on black cars, like this:

:) Notice the angle of the picture is taken at 90 degrees, versus the shallow angle you have to take with lighter cars to get any decent reflections.

Paint quality and Prep work produce mirror like shines.
