Reflection pics anyone? (Merged) - Page 6

Very nice pictures on this thread!

Royal Blue is also very good color for reflections. This is not very good scenery but an example of the color.

Great, thanks, Mikasa, almost looks like an artist has painted the side of the car !!
Neat

I got bored of mowing the lawn today, so I decided to give the car a quick clean....2 hours later I had cleaned, clayed, and then chemical guys' the wheels. The only wax I used was wax it wet, but the bonnet has collinite 476 on there from 2 weeks ago which was still beading really well.

I thought I'd take some pics because the car was looking very nice indeed.

I did this as "prep" (!) for next weekend, when I will use AG SRP and some Dodo juice. I'm knacked now, aha, just in timefor Dr. Who.

Nice wheels.
I use Poorboys Wheel Sealer ..great stuff.
BTW...Thought about painting your calipers?

MisterTee · 26th April 2008, 18:58

I've tried both poorboys and chemical guys, there's not much between them really, both give a good shine and protection.

I'm not going to paint the calipers; I'm not really into modding cars. I like cars as they come out of the factory, bit odd, but that's just me.

Nice one, PJS.

sallytraffic · 27th April 2008, 08:38

Very nice, T, you make me want to wash and wax mine again today but it is pouring down again

Thanks PJS, exactly the kind of pictures I was hoping for, some really true reflection colours in there

The red car shows that up so well

I wouldnt call painting the calipers modding.
Just to keep them clean..IMO

Nice effort, Pete, thanks.. a good 'wet' shine you got going there !

Tom ! What took you so long LOL !! Love the bonnet and I guess it is you hiding behind the camera ? The bent houses look very good

Hope yours is straight !!

Unknownsoldier · 28th April 2008, 20:05

No, it's having an affair with the detached house next door, still what consenting property's do in their own privacy is up to them, as long as they're not out cottageing!

Yes, that fatty is me...............sadly.

ATB,

Not the best subjects but it's a reflection....

sallytraffic · 28th April 2008, 20:54

Nice, Sivad, but I am wondering what the H shape on the bonnet of the first one is ? Is it a ghost Honda logo ?? !

It is a reflection of King Zorg´s spaceship.

It's tie fighter ...............

PJS · 29th April 2008, 16:12

Couple more after Sunday's polishing session....

The 2nd before last image (wing bling) was quite heavily swirled - I'm very pleased with the outcome even though it's not 100% corrected, since I was testing a new polish I've had for a while, but not really been able to do much with for one reason or another.
I was also supposed to test a couple of pre-production sample products, but alas time got away from me, so they'll have to wait until next week some time.

As usual, clicky piccy for biggy.

Nice PJS, thanks

Chris, that last one is almost as if there is no car there, good cloaking device
