A freshly detailed S40

[Bigpunter]

Hi everyone! It’s been a little while since I last posted, just soaking up all the info and I think I’ve managed to achieve a fairly decent result; however I would like your input on it. Sorry about the lack of before pictures.



Process:



Wash: Meg’s Gold Class

Clay: Meg’s Quick Clay

Polish: Meg’s Step 1 & 2

Glaze: Meg’s Mirror Shine No. 7

Sealant: Autoglym Super Resin Polish

Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection (x2)

Wax: P21S (2x)

QD: Meg’s Quick Detailer

Tyres: Meg’s Endurance Tyre Shine

Glass: Autoglym Car Glass Polish



Here are some photo’s of the work, it took about 8 hrs and 30 mins the next day for the extra coat of P21S. :faint:

And a couple more of me playing about with the camera.

Camera info?

[ScubaStevo]

Any camera will do that. Gotta love manual shutter speeds.

I`m talking about the clarity, almost no noise, excellent focus...

I`m talking about the clarity, almost no noise, excellent focus...

That`s probably b/c even though the images are only 800x600, they are quite large in file size and therefore, don`t show any compression artifacts.

some of those images are between 400kb-500kb.

If the images were compressed to a more manageable 90kb-100kb, they would show the noise you`re refering to.



BTW, great job on the car!

Thanks for all the kind words! :clap:



The camera I was using is a Sony Cybershot DSC-F717 (5 megapixels). The originals also have hardly any noise (considering its JPG) but the camera`s autofocus is out of this world in my oppion, however maual focus is present when auto gets it a little out.



The bonnet and boot were shot using a 15 second exposure and I closed both at around the 8 second mark.



Thanks again for all the comments, hope my next set will be better than this though!

Love those pics. I need to get a better camera so I can do that.

Excellent work! The paint looks really wet.



Those last two double exposure shots are really outstanding!
