The best pics I have of my car so far :(

I'll probably do it when the weather is consistently better, as when its wet it's pointless when it's wet. It'll be dirty as soon as you drive anywhere :(

Ive got a couple of the Sonus drying towels. Very absorbent, and does the job very well :) Not too expensive either, as they come in a twin pack iirc

lol, I'll send you a PM powey :)

I can relate to that lol! I was shagged after doing a full detail on my car! ALso, notice in that pic you use the menz polishes? Which one do you use mainly?

errr...there's some foliage in the way on the second shot ;) Nice car none the less, CF diamond looks neat :)

V-POWA! :)

Really good shots! You have a good ye for interesting compositions :)

lol, no worries m8 :)

Sure, it will be easy to get a really good finish thats similar/better than the fiesta, BUT it depends on how 'picky' you are. If you have loads of swirls, I cant guarantee that I can remove all of them. Like I couldnt remove all the ones on my 182, but the ones that are left are really...

Oo I'll have to have a little think. Tbh, I wouldnt charge a s**t load on the basis that I havent had too much experience, but it would take a whole weekend to do! I'll PM ya this evening :) Where abouts are you too?

The weird thing is that the last pic of the ford looks awesome, and it gleamed like it was brand new. BUT it still had loads of swirling etc on it. Same with my 182, after I did the whole car with the G220, it looks the dogs, but there were still some scratches and swirls left. I only had a...

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=388595 I doubt your paint is that bad though!

This is my 182 after detailing: And I did a thread ages ago when I did my mums car which was in a right state! I'll try and find it :)

Hey m8, Ive got a G220 and have done my 182 and a few others with good success. Im not too experienced but if you have no other luck, Id be up for it :) What condition is the paint in? Is there loads of swirling etc?

I think thats the cleanest before pic Ive ever seen in one of these threads! Are you sure that isnt an after?! ;)

One thing you dont get the impression of though is the noise! God they are loud!

6 months in.....NOTHING :) *touch wood*

As much as I love graphite alloys, on your can silver would be best :)

This is the standard response for this question. Should be stickied really ;)

Essential item for wheels. Expensive, but it does the job brilliantly :)

There will be loads of material on this subject on the net, and how you adjust the WB too. Just do some googling :)

You will get CS discount from KTEC yes :)

lol, didnt expect to see this thread again. I did away with the bike rack idea! Take the back seats out, bike fits in a treat then :)

Dont think it makes a difference. I tend to do them last, just out of habit.

lol! Im sure Jay is nocturnal!

Im not really digging them myself if im honest. The reflections on the windscreen in the first pic are really distracting, as is the fact that there's no defined edge of the car too. The second pic, the edges are VERY soft, and the car is shot from a weird angel, and the car is level either...

White balance is just how the camera perceives the colour white. So for example, in your pics you have a horrible yellowy tinge to the photos. This is caused by the street lights, which give off that temperature light. It can be easy to fix, especially if you have taken the shots in RAW, as...

A product like Poorboys New Look Gel will bring back the darker colour too, so it wont look all faded and crap.

Like the ghost effect lol! Work on correcting the white balance too :)
