Cheers Chris. A lot of the shots I take a Quarry and Camp all look a little boring due to the height, hence tying to find somewhere lower to shoot. Leading on from that I find pans a bit boring so tend not to try take to many.
The sample shot above looks intresting though.
As for what to...
Which Megs wax?
If it is Gold Glass, both that and the NXT have cleaners that will remove the sealant you have applied. If it is the Stage 3 Carnuba that will be fine.
That is providing the Trophy wheels are the same colour as the Cup pack wheels?
If that is the case an decent paint supplier should be able to mix up a pot of the above, of failing that Rover Stone grey is meant to be a good match for cup wheels.
I would be looking at getting a good few coats of sealant on the car ready, 3 coats of Autoglym Extra Gloss over the next few weeks would not be a bad idea. If you then top the EGP with a wax when you get the chance and keep doing this over the winter period when you get the chance the layered...
I would be more inclined to say you should only really need the super Resin once every 3 months.
I would look at.
Weekly: Wash and Quick Detail and or some form of spray wax/sealant, Glass clean, dress trim etc
Fortnightly - Monthly: As above plus a coat of Carnuba Wax
Every 3 - 6 months...
That is an odd one, that shot is straight of the camera, just resized. On the other hand your Blues, on Williams Clios inparticular always looks alot richer in colour than shots I have taken. Something in the Cameras software maybe?
Normally when someone asks me to get pics of them, or I really want a certain car, - they come up poor, it makes me over concentrate, rather than being relaxed.
Yeah - 1/320 for most shots with the 300mm prime on, it is too heavy for much less. Though I tried slower shutter speeds at the RWS...
Shame!
Cheers Chris :o - shame about the sun on the bonnet was my thoughts on it?
When I see a car I really want to shoot I panic and they come out crap seems to be my main problem :(
Some shots from Saturday at Castle Combe - Euro themed action day, icluding a few clios.

I have been bust sorting pics from an event I was at on Saturday, but will sort the pics and see what Trophys I got from the Sunday when I get a chance.
You should at least seal it as claying takes it to bare unprotected paint.
A polish is adviseable as claying will show up an highlight any paintwork flaws.
Very sharp lens. Mine has only been on the Camera once since geting my 300mm f4L which is alot sharper.
Some samples
All track pics here done with the 70-200.

I find it to short for most m/sport stuff other than pans though, quality also...
Not sure why anyone would not wear seatbelt.
Sure I read it does stop after a while, and can be turned of on the Clip as those with harnesses have done.
