SpeedFreak Detailed: Alpine White BMW 1M correction

[speedfreak81]

Hey guys, this gentleman contacted me on another forum about doing a single stage correction on his Alpine White 1M. No before shots, but there were very light swirls present throughout, other than that pretty clean. Objective was to clean up the surface, remove as much swirling as possible, and punch up the gloss! Unfortunately it was very overcast all day so no sun shots, and white is hard to get reflection shots of while overcast.....so not my best photography work but you get the idea.

It's that Poxy baby!

Stunning work and photography!

 

[speedfreak81]

Thanks Thomas, though I don't think these are some of my better shots. The white didn't reflect very well in the overcast light, and I'm not good enough with the camera to figure out a way around it.



Either way, nice car!

Shooting in Auto mode or A mode? Or Manual?

A mix of both, but mostly auto mode with flash disabled. Camera is a Nikon D3100 DSLR with the regular 18-55mm lens.

Beautiful pop for white, which is hard to do! Great documentation.
