Reality Check

**Raven** · 03-12-2004, 01:54 PM

Hi all, I just finished going over my car (yes again) and I`m still not completelt happy with the results. My wife is saying that I lost my mind and that the car looks great. I`m happy that my fellow autopians can help me out some some honest and painfull comments. Does my paint need a littl more work (I know it does) or is my wife right and I`m losing my mind. I`ll attach a couple of pics. It was getting ready to rain so the lighting was pretty bad.

Thanks in advance

Another one, side view.

last one, sorry about the multiply post but I`m not sure how to put them all in on one.

Oh, I meant hoping that my fellow autopians, not happy my fellow autopians.

Looks like a great job to me! :xyxthumbs

Just what is it exactly you`re not happy with? Not enough *pop* in the shine? Not wet enough? Not deep enough? Not warm enough? Give us a hint.

....I`d call it a day if my car looked like that...

It looks good. What products did you use? What process?

Looks great! From your pics, it doesn`t look like you need to do more....for now. BTW, if you want to upload photos all into one post, go to photohost.org and upload your photos there and then copy and paste the web link to your photos into your post. It`s free to sign up.:xyxthumbs

Thanks all for the replies and the kind words. Yes, I guess I was hoping for more pop and wetness. I guess that it`s all Scottwax fault fualt, nothing looks good to me after looking at his post (LOL). I used NXT topped with EX

Nope you are sick! Get the wife to call the men with the white coats and the padded truck - YOU ARE GOING ON VACATION FOR 30 DAYS! WOO HOO

**reevis** · 03-12-2004, 02:49 PM

Yup, you`re crazy!

**HellrotCi** · 03-12-2004, 03:03 PM

Looks like your hood could use some more work. The finish looks pretty cloudy to me.

I ammend my previous comment. Your paint is fine, you were just focussing on the reflected clouds and not the paint surface itself! < snickers evilly >

You have to realize Scottwax has been in the business a long time and developed some trade secerts in technique. I don`t thing Scottwax is telling all when he describes his technique when showing his work. Just keep working to perfect your techniques.
