Third time I've detailed this car, owner is really good about having it done every 6 months, does a nice job taking care of it in between details.



The sun was out when I started on it, by the time I finished, clouds had rolled in, the sun has yet to cooperate when I have detailed this car. The paint was only very lightly swirled, might have to polish it a bit harder in the fall, we'll see. The goal this time was a good basic detail and as much depth as possible.



ONR wash, Opti-Raser clay sponge (test product)

3M Ultrafina using a Meguiars yellow polishing pad and my PC 7424 XP

3D HD Poxy to seal the finish

Optimum Metal Polish on the exhaust tips



Woolite/water diluted 20:1 to clean leather and vinyl

3D Carpet Shampoo diluted 16:1 to clean the carpets

Optimum Protectant Plus to dress the vinyl

Duragloss Leather Conditioner to treat the leather

Awesome job Scott! Isn't it nice when the customer takes the initiative and keeps their ride looking good in between details? That has to make your job all the more easier right!

Thanks y'all. :wavey



Yes, it is nice when people take care of their cars. They keep the interior really clean so I can breeze through that and concentrate on keeping the paint as swirl free as possible for a daily driver.
 
Scott, looks really nice. Can you comment on the durability of what's on the car and how it's holding up in the TX climate?



thx.
 
Looks awesome as usual, Scott.



Hey, which camera did you buy? I'm in the market so I don't have to depend on the wife's gear.
 
Well, I wouldn't mind getting the Canon EOS T2I for around $550 and then I would get a 50mm 1.8 lens or possibly a 35mm lens, but honestly I don't use 1/10 of the functions of that camera.



I'm not necessarily a fan of photography just yet, but want to get a camera that allows me to capture good 50/50 shots and some nice "after" shots for as little money as possible.



I'd love to find a camera body + lens for $250 total that is serviceable for my needs.

You would probably be happy with any prosumer type of camera for around $250. I have a Panasonic FZ7 (5 years old). It takes great outdoor pictures and has good color (though I'm not photography pro). Indoor it suffers a bit like any cheaper camera.
 
if you don't mind pre-owned, this site Canon EOS Digital Rebel XS 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera - CowBoom.com

has a used Rebel XS for $277.

I've got nothing to do with the site, just throwing it out there. you could probably get the same kit new for about $100 more (based on a quick google search). I have this camera, and it really is great and easy to use.



but like grimm said, for $250 you could get a mid-high level "regular" digital camera just about anywhere these days.
 
I agree something like the Pany z150 I think, super zoom and highly regarded

Still partial to the 2nd gen cars (I had a '74 Z/28) but the new ones are growing on me.

Both Opti-Seal and HD Poxy hold up very well here, can't go wrong with either.

I bought an Olympus SP-610UZ, lists at $249 but I found it at Sears for $180 plus another $20 for an 8 GB memory card.
