How's this for White?

[wash-girl]

After a year (or so) on Autopia, I think I'm finally nearing the kind of results that are worth a picture post. I've been really happy with the amazing difference since I've been applying the lessons and knowledge from here.

Whaddaya think? Am I gettin' there? :nixweiss I haven't moved to the realm of mail order products, yet, but that is the result of a clay job and hand de-swirl (w/DACP), IHG, and Liquid Glass (applied three weeks ago) and two coats of S100 (applied 2 & 1 week ago). This pic was taken after yesterday's quick hand wash.



How's that picture quality? Any tips on better angles or views

It seems to look good from what I can tell, though the pictures seem a bit dim to me. You'll have to play around with different lighting conditions and reflections of the surroundings at different angles (hint hint!) to see what gives the curves the best gleam or better reflections, which are what people go for in pics. Maybe play around with the gamma correction or brightness too if you can....



I wouldn't worry too much about the realm of mail order products. A lot of the products people bend over backwards to mail order are usually things like MF towels and final protection products that you just can't get locally. Proper paint prep is far more important than the stuff you put on top of it to give it protection (appearance-wise anyway). Hope this helps!
