Show and Shine Contest!

I might agree, but I would have to see the original UN-ENHANCED PICS

I agree with you Ronkh, when I first saw this posting I noticed the pictures were enhanced....I prefer raw pictures, as any of us could have digitially enhanced our pictures, to make them look even better.
 
Lets not get too offtopic here. I'll take the non enhanced pictures into consideration.

This is the last week for submissions, though. Good luck to all!

Here is my best i believe.. and on my car too!
 
Here is my entry, my spring detail for this year! My poor car gets parked outside year round in IA!

The interior was just as bad, with all the salt, sand and junk they use up in IA (excuse the blurry pic)

Washed and clayed the car first to see what there was to work against. On to the swirls, these have been uncorrected since I bought the car in the summer of '09
Pillar

Hood

Once the car was cleaned, I moved on to correction. I used PC 7424xp + Meg's 105 with orange pad, followed by 205.

50/50 Hood (not quite sure where the dust came from on the corrected side, gone now)

After I was satisfied with correction, and multiple passes on a few panels. I topped it with Collinite 845, which I was very pleased with for those of you looking for some new product.

Just wanted to say another BIG "Thank You" to [email protected] for hooking me up with the Dodo Juice Skull Candy prize at Detail Fest.
It was pleasure to meet you and spend some time talking with you. What a great weekend!
PJ from Dodo Juice was there too and he was telling me Skull Candy is a spectacular product.

I witnessed a lot of new "game changing" products being announced and demonstrated at DF.

It was all so exciting, I even detailed Mini-Merlin
