Lexus SC430...first pics with my new camera

Okay guys...finally got a camera so I can take some pics (other than with my lousy camera phone).



Below are picture of a Lexus I did a couple days agao. I gave the owner a demo of my paint restoration abilities by putting a tape like down the middle of the door panel and polishing one side. Needless to say, he was convinced.



I performed a 3-step buff process with the rotary - 1) orange LCVC pad (new style) with HTEC/OP, 2) white LCVC with PO106FF, and 3) green P2 (AB pad) with PO106FF (all at about 1500 RPMs give or take). Finished with 4-star UPP.



Owner had me come back and do his other 2 cars too (and even better, referred me to his friends).

Few more "after" shots here.



And I almost forgot to mention...he told me he had Lexus "detail" it several times, but each time it seemed to come back with more scratches. I told him it was because they probably put more scratches in every time they wash it than they actually remove during the detail...ala the local car wash "details."

All I have to say is it is about damn time you got a nice camera! :) This post with your new camera definitely shows off your detailing skills! I'm looking forward to seeing your future details and pics!
 
Yeah, the good news is I have a nice camera...the bad is that anymore, I rarely have time to play around to take, upload, and resize pics so I can post them here. Oh well.
 
Ry, the 2nd set looks awesome! Get all four corners, plus a before and after or side by side. Bout time my friend! To this day, i think Lexus has the most beautiful colors on the road.....

Rag, the cas looks awsome. Love the sun pics. What camera did you get?



My step-father bought me the Kodak EasyShare Z740...I think it was on sale for less than $200. Seems to work just fine, though it's only 6 megapixel.
 
6 MP is more than enough. I just ordered a Pentax K110D Digital SLR camera through my air miles. I'm really looking forward to taking pics with that camera, I have been using a Canon 2MP camera for about 5 years now.

Nice work. What are these new LCVC pads you are talking about? Are you referring to the new CCS type pads?



Yeah, I just couldn't think of their name right off hand. The CCS pad in orange. But the white was the original LCVC. I like the CCS and LCVC pads for heavy polishing, but I sure wish the CCSs didn't have those dimples.



How's your car doing?
